Right, apologies in advance as this is a swine flu related thread. I'm not trying to add to the general hysteria, just after opinions!
Yesterday I was sent an email about swine flu from the NCT which was a government document aimed at pregnant women and those with young children. Basically, the advice is if you are trying to conceive then you are better to wait until the pandemic is over.
Now I know that swine flu isn't too different from regular flu (probably less severe at the moment) and that if you catch flu in general in your first trimester then there is a chance that a fever can damage foetal development. We are about to start TTC baby no.2 and it's in the back of my mind that maybe we should follow the advice on waiting. I work in the NHS too (directly with patients) so there's probably going to be a high chance of catching it.
Am I being paranoid? I'd rather not put our baby making plans on hold as I don't want a big age gap between DD and the next baby.
I probably need a healthy dose of realism...
Is it just government hype or do you think it's sensible?
