We went to the Doctor today. Everything looks good. The baby is still moving around a lot so I suppose his position at the moment isn't significant, though his head seems to be down. I'm pretty sure his feet spend a lot of time in my rib cage.
I am pretty sure that the receptionist mistook my weight either this visit or last. I'm positive I haven't gained 10lbs in two weeks!!! I'm sure I would have felt that type of gain and I'm sure I would have seen it!!! Whatever! I'm letting it slide.
Hubby asked about the flu shot on my behalf. This doctor seems to think its a good idea whether I'm pregnant or not. My regular GP told me a few years ago that he wouldn't recommend a flu shot for a young healthy adult, as he thinks it will make your immune system weak. Only young children and elderly people should get them. So, now I'm not sure what I want to do. In my mind I do sway in the anti-flu shot camp. Maybe I'm paranoid. Maybe I've watched X-Files too much.
The vaccines will not be available until the end of October. I might have already given birth by that time. But if I am still pregnant and with the Swine Flu still around it might be a good idea.
Truly, I'm not sure what to do. Maybe I should have another talk about it with my GP. We seem to think the same way. I may be more comfortable with his opinion.
What do you think of flu vaccines? Do you get vaccinated every year?
