So happy I got my flu shot!

DH came home on Wednesday morning (he works nights) feeling sick & running a 101.3* fever. He's been pretty much bedridden ever since, only getting up for a few hours yesterday. He is absolutely miserable. His fever has been anywhere from 99.1-104.1 over the past 6 days, he's got a nasty cough, & body aches that Motrin/Tylenol barley touch.

I, on the other hand, am almost 37 weeks pregnant & don't even have a sniffle. I can only imagine how horrible it would be to feel the way he does & be this pregnant.

My main motivation for getting the shot was so that I wouldn't bring it home to the baby once he's born, but this episode has made me SO glad I listened to my MW & got it when I did.

I am very cautious with vaccines in general, so I thought I'd pass it along in case anyone else is on the fence.

Did your DH not get one?

I got mine but my DH is still on the fence about getting one. I should make him read your post lol   

But I do hope he feels better soon!

Glad you did too!  When your husband recovers you may encourage him to get one.  Just because he had this flu doesn't mean he won't catch someone else.  The flu vaccine this year covers three strains.

I also got one, but only so I could pass it on to the baby.  I personally will never get it unless I'm pregnant.  I think your immune system is working better when you're pregnant in general - I'm not sure why I feel that way, but I do!  Sorry your DH is feeling crappy but I'm sure if he treats it with rest, hydration, and healthy foods he will be better soon!
