swine flu jab or not?

[setdse]

There are a lot of stories going around at the moment about impacts having the swine flu jab can have on you and your baby.

What do you all think? Have you had it yet? and if not do you think you will?

There is already a couple of threads about this. It's up to the individual but I had it just before Xmas and I'm glad I did.

I had it last year when I was pregnant and both me and my baby are totally fine. Was in the 1st trimester too, so I think if it couldve done damage it would have. If you get antibodies now, when you breast feed your baby you will pass them on, so youre not just protecting yourself, youre protecting your baby for next winter too I can understand the anxiety cos it has lots of bad press, but people are having a lot worse reactions to the swine flu virus than the vaccine.

the nurse said antibodies will pass onto the baby so the baby will be immune for its 1st 6 months and when i breast feed baby will get more antibodies so im glad i got it done

Caroline is one of our member's sister; Princess81. She got swine flu and became very ill over christmas. She passed away from it Its been a big shock to everyone and a reality check about how serious we should all be taking swine flu.

 

[midnight]

she was fit and healthy i think she was only 25 too and had no other things that could complicate just shows how serious swine flu has become my neighbour died last week too

having been hospitalised with normal flu for 9 days that turned into pneumonia Ive just had the jab as theres no way I want to go through that again!

 

[midnight]
