pregnancy and flu shot

HELP! Influenza vaccine and pregnancy?

I have a vaccination last Thursday. The questionnaire asks "If you are pregnant or think May pregnant, please consult the nurse practitioner before receiving the vaccine against the flu, I do not think anything of it. For days I felt well, I thought it was due to be vaccinated against the flu, but not had my period, I decided to take a pregnancy test last night and was positive. I'm not going to be able to see a doctor until Monday. Is there something I should worry about pregnancy (perhaps 4-5 weeks) and obtain a vaccine against influenza? Also, I had very bad pain in my lower abdomen, some as a menstrual cycle and I feel a strange bubbles of sensation in the abdomen as well. Something like when you are pregnant, 5 months or so, and the baby starts to kick you. That's how it feels. But as I said, the doctor is not until Monday. I had this problem with my first pregnancy, the vaccine against influenza could be causing the discomfort?

I have a tetanus shot 2 days before I learned she was pregnant. I had the same things happen on my breasts angry that I thought I had something to do with the vaccine. My doctor told me that the cramping was the introduction and the feeling of gas bubbles or my uterus is being prepared. I went to the doctor last week and really tried to give me the flu vaccine, but I refused. They said it was safe for pregnant women throughout gestation. That should go.

If you’re pregnant don’t take the swine flu shot
