Flu jab
Hi girls keep worrying about the flu jab whether to have it done or not? Has anyone else had it done and has there been any side effects? I'm 15 weeks pregnant, what shall I do x

Hi I had it and no side effects at all x
We had it....only because my sister is an intensive care nurse and she said there were too many pregnant ladies who ended up in ITU with Flu....it is entirely a personal choice though!
Going to request Whooping cough one too....
I had it at 8 weeks and had no side effects! I wasn't offered it while pregnant with my first and I got swine flu when I was 18 weeks which was horrendous! I was so poorly I couldn't get out of bed for 3 weeks and it took another 2 weeks to completey recover. Luckily I managed to battle through it and didn't end up in hospital,I had about 5 weeks off work....never again!!
Good Luck with your decision! xx
Agree with the sore arm....fine now though!
Bertie1 - glad you felt re-assured about having it.
Is everyone going to get the Whooping Cough vaccine after 28 weeks?
My husband got his flu jab today - just so he doesn't miss out!
After reading just this morning that 3 babies died from whooping cough last month I think I'll defo have it, was in 2 minds but better to be safe than sorry x x
oh I know me too!!! its gone up from approx 1000 sufferers last year to 7000ish this year!!!
I'm going to get the Whooping cough one - for sure - my midwife said this was only after 28 weeks, so a little way to go!
At the end of the day, is it personal preference, but I am reassured I have had it x
