Newly pregnant---get H1N1 now or wait til second trimester?

[Anonymous]

Thanks, all. I'm going to go out tonight to get the shot in DC. Wish me luck. I hope I don't get the stink-eye because I am so early preggers, I am taking my positive test with me just in case.

I am newly pregnant and just got H1N1. I went to my dr thinking "I am okay, I am early" but then I heard about my compromised immune state and the death rate even early on, and then they want me to take Tamiflu (which was NOT recommended for pregnant women until recently) and THAT can cause skeletal issues (in rats, but STILL, I am growing the fricken' skeleton right now people, RIGHT NOW) and I am kind of getting hysterical....so on and so on.

The point is: get the shot.
