Vaccines which are not safe during pregnancy

Chickenpox or Varicella and Zoster are very much a no-no when preggy.

I've heard that the seasonal flu is ok but the H1N1 shot has reportedly caused stillbirths and miscarriages to some pregnant women. Discuss this with your GP so you'll know what to do.

Stillbirths? That's freakin' scary.

Had my flu shots too a few months ago to keep me protected while I'm pregnant.

I guess flu shots are perfectly okay.

Yup, they are. I got em when I was pregnant and fortunately baby's doing ok.

I've read somewhere that the H1N1 shots are questionable.

While those with live viruses are very dangerous for pregnant moms.
Vax with killed viruses are Flu shot, Tdap, Hepa etc...
Vax with live viruses like Measles and Varicella shots are a no-no.

Oh, so helpful. In my case I was 101% dependent on my mum, doctor and to you guys in taking steps on pregnancy related stuff. Can't blame me as I was a first time mum!
