If it was me... I wouldnt get it, I just have a feeling its been rushed and women who have had it while pregnant the side effects may not be known, I dont know, I'd be too scared!
Just me!

My friend is pregnant and she is having the jab after doing loads of research.
She has spoken to a few doctor friends who have told her that the media has really hyped up and issues with the vaccine and the the implications of not having it could be far worse.
Just wanted to pass it on as she is definatly not someone who would take any risks!

I'm an asthmatic as well and am booked in to have it next week. I agree with Wanna Bump, for me the side effects seemed far less of an issue then what might happen if I caught swine flu.
Even though I'm not pregnant we planning to start TTC very soon. My question is do you think it's ok to TTC before having the jab or should I wait until next week to have it?
If I wait, once I've had the jab how long should I wait before starting TTC?
BTW - just a word of warning, I was sooo ill the day after having it, it was literally like having the flu for 24 hours, so if you can have the jab on a friday so you can hide in bed on the Saturday because trust me, it's really bad.
