Can you become sick with the flu while pregnant?
Yes, it's very important to get a flu shot because if you get any type of flu while you're pregnant, you're more likely to have serious complications, such as pneumonia and preterm labor, which could put you and your baby at risk. This year's flu shot will protect you against three strains of flu, including H1N1 (the swine flu).

About While Pregnant
Pregnancy is a joyous time in a woman's life, but it's also something that shouldn't be taken lightly. While pregnant, women should eat right and exercise in moderation. Remember, a pregnant woman’s body is changing to accommodate the baby, so you shouldn't be stressing your body too much with intense physical activity or by drinking heavily. A common misconception about pregnancy is that you'll still have your period; luckily that's not the case. You will not have your period while pregnant.
About Flu Shot
A flu shot is a vaccination for the influenza virus, of which there are many dangerous strains.
About Flu
Influenza is common in the United States and around the world. In recent years, due to international travel, flu has become pandemic. It's a good idea to get a flu shot if you are in a high-risk group, which includes children and the elderly, among others.
About Swine Flu
The H1N1 viral strain implicated in the 2009 flu pandemic among humans often is called "swine flu" because initial testing showed many of the genes in the virus were similar to influenza viruses normally occurring in North American swine. According to the Centers for Disease Control in humans the symptoms of the 2009 "swine flu" H1N1 virus are similar to those of flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, chills and tiredness.
