I went to the OBGYN on Friday, seeing how I got in a bit of a fender bender. For peace of mind, I wanted to know that everything was fine with the pregnancy; which is was, thank goodness! While I was there, the doctor said I lost three pounds, and he was ok with that. (ME TOO!! ;)) The protection of a baby at 14 weeks is so much greater than that of a larger baby. I learned that there are still 4 layers of protection.
The thing that probably threw me off was that he said since I was a teacher, I should not only get the flu vaccination, but also the swine flu vaccination. YUCK! I have never had a flu shot!! I figured since I am surrounded by the germs, my tolerance was fine and there was no need. (Knock on wood, I have never had the flu in the 8 years I have taught.) Oh well, he said that because I was surrounded by it, there was a greater need for the shot- and antibacterial soap!
So, sometime this week, I am getting my first flu shot. The things we do for our unborn children! :)
(That felt cool to write, I have yet to say that I will have a child.... so exciting! I can not wait!)
