had it yesterday, a friend was really poorly with it just before she had her babay last year and spent a few weeks in isolation after baby was born, emergency section the lot. They said on news there is a new Mum fighting for her life too, no brainer for me! Get me dosed up!!

Yep, I had it back in September. Had no side effects whatsoever.

Stupid question but if you've had swine flu before can you get it again?
Mmm...not sure. I thought that each year, the flu virus is a slightly different strain...

That's what I thought. I had swine flu last year and probably would've got over it within a week or so but had a really bad reaction to the tamiflu and was ill for ages after taking it, with lots of new symptoms. So I'm a bit scared of anything to do with it now tbh!

I have just phoned my GP to ask if I should have it - they put me down for an advice call and doc phoned me back - and didn't know!!!! She has gone off to find out and will phone me later!!
But a local lady has swine flu - in the hospital where I will be giving birth!! This article says that my Health Board are advising people to get the vaccine.

Why is my doctor hopeless?

Hey
I had it yesterday. Have a bit of a sore arm today but that seems to be it. I am hearing more horror stories about the women catching the flu than those having the vaccine so i would get it. It's an individual choice though.

I've been for mine this morning, and literally took 5 minutes! Midwife was saying it's highly recommended to have one. I haven't had any side effects (yet) and am now doing some last minute Xmas shopping with hubby and we're gonna go to nando's - I'm starving! Lots of walking followed by a spicy meal should help get baby out!!
