I had told my 6 year old DS that he could get the flu mist again (he got that last year). When he went for his well child, we were going to get the flu mist and my doctor made him get the regular shot. My doctor said that the mist is a live virus whereas the shot is not. He told me he realized he was probably just being over-protective, but since there has been no research for the mist on pregnant ladies, the chance of the virus mutating and somehow causing problems for me or the baby just were not worth it to him. I did feel bad DS ended up with a shot after I told him he didn't need one, but if my doctor wasn't comfortable with it, I just took his advice.
