Not only can you, you should.
Although the flu is not a big deal for most healthy adults, contracting the flu while pregant can be very serious, especially for the baby.
During the flu-shot shortages of Fall 2004, pregnant women were some of the few people (besides elderly or health care workers) who could get them.

Yes. In fact doctors highly recommend it for pregnant women. I just got a flu shot last week at 27 weeks.

Yes you can I received one October 13 and I'm 27 weeks pregnant. I wouldn't have gotten one if I never it would hurt the baby. If you have a questions regarding the safety of your baby ask your Doctor. My doctor recommended it and if it prevents me from getting sick and making sure my baby is healthy I'm all for it. Especially right now in the fall with flu season right around the corner.

OMGoodness!! The Flu shot is the biggest money-making hoax out there. Please, Please don't inject that crap into your bloodstream, it'll go straight to your baby. Your bloodstream is connected to your baby's, EVERYTHING you get, baby gets. Flu shots have Thimerisol, chicken embryos, live flu cultures etc, etc.
When we get illnesses, they enter through our bodies many orifaces ( eyes, ears, throat ), thus passing by our natural defense systems...providing immunity...naturally. When we inject vaccines right into our bloodstreams, that natural defense system gets bypassed, our bodies get shocked with a chemical overload and we often are left no more "immunized" then without. I personally know of many friends that religiously get the Flu shot and they are ALL STILL SUPER SICK ALL WINTER.
I seriously suggest you allow your body to get, if even at all, a flu naturally, not with unnatural immunity based on a flu bug from last year ( yes, last year, not the ones currently being passed around...every year the flu becomes more and more resistent because of the human efforts to irradicate it, thus creating superbugs that are really nasty and untreatble )

It's dangerous.
Do NOT get vaccinated.
A vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.
There are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.
Just sit back and think for a while.
Is there any sense in injecting a disease directly into your body.
We have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.

If you go to the vaccination liberation web page, at

You will find all the forms necessary to provide exemption for your child.

Definitely not until far into the second trimester. Even then I'm not sure it's approved by the FDA for use in pregnant women.

It is not recommended to get one in the first trimester, but 2nd and 3rd trimesters it is highly recommended.
