I don't do them-- Sorry to hear about your experience though!
How did the doctor make you?

I NEVER get the flu shot even when not pregnant because it makes me sick

He was just very insistent on it. The flu in our area is huge right now! I've never had a flu shot so I didn't know it made you feel crappy.. But if it protects me from the flu then I guess it's worth it :/

I encourage you to have Informed Consent through all your care.
It is important to interview risks vs benefits, risks, and alternatives. If this doctor acts like this now be aware it may happen more, again. In maternity care women must self-advocate because doctors don't always work for their health-safety first. People *do* get the flu, even after the shot and the shot comes with risks.
Take care, GL!Quoting blessedmommy864:
