Please be gentle with me, but I cant work out whether I am being a bit of a drama llama.
I'm not interested in whether you should or shouldn't have injections. It is a personal choice.
I declined a flu jab whilst pregnant, my midwife is aware of this
I am 30 weeks pregnant and I was told by my midwife that I should have my whooping cough jab. For no real logical reason I am happy to have a whooping cough jab, but not a flu jab.
I went to my doctors surgery where the nurse asked if I knew why I was having the whooping cough injection ( to increase my immunity to pass it on to my baby when its first born) and she injected me. Afterwards she said I was also covered for diphtheria, polio and tetnus. I didn't say much at the time, but I am a bit annoyed that they assumed consent for the jab, and the more I think about it, the more angry I get. I feel like I want to complain about this.
What do you think?
