I know I should get this done, I've been dithering about it since last autumn when we started to think about getting pregnant again! I'm confident that it's safe for me and the baby (am 27 weeks) and I'm not aware of any problems at birth from all the thousands of pregnant women who were vaccinated last flu season.
Just looked in local village bulletin and the big saturday clinic is this saturday! Ooer. (I am very phobic but I know I've got to do this. Am due bang in the middle of the flu season and could do with one less thing to fret about.) Problem is, I've had a nasty tummy bug that turned into a cold for the past couple of weeks, and have felt like arse. Still feel like arse, though the cold seems to be going at last.
I know it's not advisable to have vaccinations if you're already suffering from a virus. Is this a good reason to postpone the jab, given the clinic is in 3 days' time? I think there's another clinic on the 19th, but I sort of want to get it over with now.
( and can someone hold my hand, please? I'm really very wibbly about the whole needle thing.)
