The only statement relatively similar to the claims in the article from the University itself was:
"Researchers administered flu vaccine to 141 pregnant women, 91 of whom received a flu shot in the previous year, 50 who had not. The results, published in Vaccine, found that women who hadn’t received a flu shot in the previous year had better initial immune responses to the vaccine. For those who had received a flu shot the previous year, their peak antibody responses were weakened."
I haven't had a chance to find the actual study posted on science direct, but will do so off mobile.
Maybe that's where the 250% influenza infection post vaccination comes in (the most salient of OP's article), but I haven't seen it yet.

This is a bad article. It doesn't link to the actual study but the wiki page for the university. Here is a link to the only study I could find, which actually was focused on pregnant mothers receiving the flu shot: https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/mediaroom/pressreleaselisting/flu-shot-during-pregnancy
