Yes, because of my 3.5 month old baby. Would have been getting the regular seasonal one anyways this year because of her even if this H1N1 thing didn't materialize. So I don't really see the big ordeal with getting the H1N1 shot instead. H1N1 is basically this year's seasonal flu. And any flu can be really bad for young babies, not just H1N1.

Edited to add: I also got the flu randomly in mid-June while I was still pregnant, and it was pretty brutal for 10 days. So I'm thinking I might have actually already even had the swine flu (which hopefully means I would have some or total immunity), but I talked to my doctor about it and he said to get the vaccine just in case.
