Flu jab?

[FallingStar]

I had a letter from my GP recommending that I go for a flu jab, so I have an appointment for Monday. I'm hoping it doesn't make me poorly for a few days as I have loads to do next week to get ready for Christmas! Anyone else had a flu jab and how were you afterwards? xx

Hey! I'm not in tri 2 officially yet but I had this too. I saw my midwife when I was nearly 6 weeks an she said they are advising all pregnant women to have it. My midwife is also pregnant and she had had it which made me feel better. I had it at about 8 an a half weeks, got a bit of a sore arm after but apart from that i was completely fine! Xxx

had mine yesterday and I got a sore aching arm but apart from that I'm fine glad I had it since I saw all the bad news of people dying x

I got a letter a few weeks ago inviting me to make an appointment for this but I'm quite reluctant to have a jab really, not because I'm scared of needles (I can handle that) but because I have never ever had flu in my whole life and I would rather avoid any medication unless absolutely necessary during pregnancy so I'm thinking I won't be bothering x

jodied I would seriously think about having it this year now your pregnant we are more at risk of dying from the swine flu that has broken out again ..... But its up to you hunny I only got mine as I saw the newspapers had increased the death total to 10 I was like right must get on with it now can't put it off...
