yes there are small risks but seasonal flu is not a serious danger to the baby. the body has a remarkable ability to protect them. most healthy people pregnant women included will fight the flu. the fact that she feeling better already is a good sign. i am sure that she and her baby will be fine and a worried grandmother-to-be can relax. yes it is wise to get the flu vaccine before you get the flu and to take those prenatal vitamins.
my daughter did not receive the flu shot. she is now in her 2nd trimester & she has the flu. serious risk for the baby? . although her doctors are supposed to be good reputable doctors she couldn't tell me why she had not received the flu shot yet! now she is in her 2nd trimester & she ended up with the flu! i am very worried because she was also out of her prenatal vitamins for a week. she was prescribed tamiflu and now shes feelings a little better but i want to know the danger to the baby. . . .
