Well i seen on bbc news last week that every pregnant woman no matter what stage are being offered flu jab, as they thing swine flu is still about. Im going to phone my docs this week to check it out! x

My wife had the swine flu jab, as we felt it was obv better than her getting the flu.

She had nasty migraines that night - I don't know if they were related. You can read more about it here: http://goodbyepertbreasts.com/2010/05/14/week-nineteen-take-your-partner-by-the-hand/

lovely, will book in for it then. I had the swine flu one last year so just need the normal flu one.

I have to have the flu jab every year as i have a low immune system. I had it last year whilst i was in early stages of pregnancy and had the swine flu jab not long after and everything was fine with me and with the baby.
I think it is a personal choice but if you have it normally and you dont react badly then i think your body will cope fine. xxxx
