Yes you can and should get it. According to the CDC, pregnant women in their second and third trimesters should get vaccinated against the flu. Not only should you get the influenza vaccination, but so should your partner and maybe any other children you have (if they are over 6 years old) to prevent them from infecting you and the rest of the family. But I am not a medical professional, so check with your doctor first (I'm just a medical student).

Yes you can still get the flu vaccination. In fact it is highly recommended that you get the flu vaccine if you are pregnant to protect you and the baby. In fact I'm surprised your doctor has not mentioned this to you already.

You'll have to ask your doctor.
