I hope you didn't let you wife get the shot. As listed in the Insert for the vaccine and found directly from the government website:
http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Biologi.../UCM182401.pdf
"Safety and effectiveness of Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine have not been established in pregnant women or nursing mothers and in the pediatric population below 6 months of age."
8.1 Pregnancy
...It is also not known whether these vaccines can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity...
