Title says it all.
I had a pretty horrible cold (with one night of fever, the other days just severe headache, congestion, sore throat, and tickly cough resulting in vomiting). Was a nightmare experiencing that whilst pregnant. Symptoms were much worse than the average cold when you're not pregnant, and the cold took a look longer than usual to go away (I assume because of the compromised immune system during pregnancy). I was so worried about my baby - that me being ill (and coughing to aggressively) would harm him. So, yeah, I REALLY don't want this Australian flu... BUT I've come across some accounts whereby the flu vaccine has GIVEN people the flu - I don't want that, either!
Any pregnant women had this flu vaccine and been fine? Any not been fine?
I'd like to hear your experiences.
Thank you!
