I was strongly, strongly advised by MW and obstetrician to have the jab.
So off I have duly trotted (I am very good at obeying instructions) and had the flu jab this very morning.
Only to come back, lurk on MN for a bit, and see all kinds of terrifying queries/statements about the jab - mercury levels etc.
I know I am probably being a bit PFB about this but I am now genuinely getting terribly upset that I should have thought about this more. :(
DH is hearing-impaired so we already know there is a chance baby will be too; if I let myself I can get terribly anxious about other problems occurring, particularly (my biggest terror) with sight.
Am I just being crazy? Should I step away from Google this very minute? I thought I was doing the right thing but now am kicking myself for doing it. I am generally well and practice extra-good hygiene in flu season so was I silly to think I needed the jab?

AIBU?
to be in a sudden panic that I should have researched more before trotting off to get flu jab at 16w pregnant?
