Hi all,
I'm due my whooping cough vaccine today and I'm scared - not because of the needles or pain etc, but just because it's a relatively new vaccine for pregnant women and it can cause fever (which could cause future problems).
I've read all the studies on safety, so am aware that it is largely safe, but I'd LOVE to hear from some women who have now had their babies, as well as pregnant women, who can tell me what to expect afterwards.
Is fever common? Arm pain is fine, but what about the other symptoms like vomiting, diarrhoea, headaches etc?
Just a bit of hand-holding in advance please :) Thanks!
