31 Weeks Pregnant, Should I Be Concerned By The Flu Epidemics ?
Hello, should I be concerned by the flu epidemics? I am 31 weeks pregnant and I did not get the shot because my ob/gyn told me not to get it. Now I am really worried - is the flu really that dangerous for pregnant women or is it partially created panic by the media? Should I take any precautions or just be more cautious about visiting crowded places?
Flu during pregnancy can be dangerous,can affect you as well as your baby,so be cautious.
Your Ob/gyn has done right by not allowing you to take the shot of vaccine.
