The current recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control is that all

women who plan to be pregnant during flu season should be vaccinated ahead

of time. Getting the vaccine should be part of your pre-conception planning.

WOW! So, now, I have to wait until September to get pregnant? How long

should I wait after the vaccine to try to get pregnant? I mean, if I get an

MMR, I'm told to wait 3 months. So, now, it's not September, it's December

.....

OMG! " There is also a risk of premature delivery as well as developmental

problems (perhaps even schizophrenia) in the child many years later. "

NOW there's nothing like scaring the sh** out of a mommy to be! If you don't

get the flu shot, you're kid's gonna have schozophrenia. ummmmmmmmmmmm how

many of these cases are induced by the vaccine?

This makes me sick.

All I can say is stupid, stupid stupid!!!

Getting the flu, while it really sucks while you are pregnant is not going

to kill you. What a bunch of idiots doctors are. And yes sadly people

believe this c**p.

If you are intending to have a child, a flu vaccination should be part of

your pregnancy planning, says Dr. Judith Reichman

Q: I intend to get pregnant soon. Should I get a flu vaccine this season?

A: Yes, you should. And you should plan to have the vaccine before you get

pregnant.

We expect that 10 to 20 percent of the U.S. population will catch the

influenza virus next winter. Even if you got immunized last year, that is

not enough to protect you.

The influenza virus changes its genetic code rapidly. Each year the vaccine

is modified in order to fight the strains most likely to cause infection in

the year to come.

You don’t ever want to get the flu, but it’s especially important to protect

yourself against infection during pregnancy, when tremendous hormonal

changes cause a decrease in your immune system’s response to viral

“invaders.”

Once pregnant, otherwise-healthy women become extremely high-risk for flu

complications and are more likely to get really sick — with higher fevers

and pneumonia. There is also a risk of premature delivery as well as

developmental problems (perhaps even schizophrenia) in the child many years

later.

The current recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control is that all

women who plan to be pregnant during flu season should be vaccinated ahead

of time. Getting the vaccine should be part of your pre-conception planning.

The vaccine is given starting in late September, to be ready for the height

of the flu season, which is late fall and early winter.

If you get pregnant without having been vaccinated, you should still get the

vaccine during the second and third trimesters. There is some concern about

vaccination in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy.

Dr. Reichman’s Bottom Line

We don’t want pregnant women getting viral infections! Women planning to

become pregnant should get the influenza vaccine, preferably before their

pregnancy.

health, has practiced obstetrics and gynecology for more than 20 years. You

Clock Down: The Complete Guide to a Healthy, Younger You, " published by
