My doctor said that is was a wise thing to do and she highly recommended it, so I got a flu shot last week (I'm 17 weeks pregnant now.) However, I have heard that some doctor's do not like you to get a flu shot in the first trimester, so I would highly recommend asking your doctor before getting one. When you are pregnant you can't really do anything or take anything before asking your doctor. If you don't have one yet, call your regular physician and they will be able to give you an idea of what you should do. Good luck
