I'm 29 weeks pregnant and had my whooping cough vaccination yesterday (actually not just WC but also combined with diphtheria and tetanus). My arm was really sore afterwards, but I expected that, no worries. Problem is, today I woke feeling horrendous- heavy sore limbs and exhausted. During the course of the day I've also developed a non stop runny nose, headache and can't stop sneezing. Generally feeling rough all around.
Could just be coincidence that I've caught a cold but I just wondered if anyone else has had similar symptoms after this jab?
Just to note- I'm not bashing the vaccine and I'm still glad I had it- these irritating symptoms are fine compared to reducing the risk of WC in newborn.
