I'm dreading it. I have never had a problem with my dd's having immunisations it's just that I'm a wimp and dh usually has to take them.
It's awful to have a tiny baby go through injections but somehow it seems harder when they are bigger.
I have to phone the surgery tomorrow to book her appointment.

sparkler - I really worried about it with my ds1 too, but it really was a lot easier than first time round. He had no side effects at all apart from a bit of a sore arm - no temperature no nothing.

I went for outright bribery, btw. Let him choose which sweets he wanted, and he ate sugary crap while sitting on the chair having his jab Not even a whimper...

I was the same with dd1 as well. She barely moticed it happening. I was worse that her

Know the feeling!

Although I'm feeling all brave at the moment, because I had my pneumonia and flu vaccinations yesterday! Of course, no-one bought me loads of sweeties to take the pain away

LOL - didn't they even give you a sticker. I'd get down the shop if I were you and buy yourself a big bar of choccie - much deserved

Nope, no sticker.

Thought I'd crack open a bottle of archers aqua tonight instead
