Quick poll: Pregnant AND underlying health condition - are you being vaccinated?

And if so, which one are you going for (if you have a choice): Pandemrix or Celvapan?

Still agonising over the decision - risk an unknown vaccine on unborn baby or risk both of us dying of SF and leaving my pre-schooler without a mummy...

I've read all the threads on the research and medical opinion, so let's not go over all that again in any great detail, but I'm interested to know:

If you are pregnant and underlying condition - will you be having the jab?

Asthmatic and 24 weeks. Pandemrix only being offered where I am (west London). Would much rather have celvepan and am very cross that we are not being offered it but booked in tomorrow morning at doctors and currently my thoughts are:
Am having it. Yes I am. Yes I am. Yes I am. No I'm Not. Yes I am. But what if... repeat until head is spinning!

Dh thinks I should take it, to be honest I have no idea what I am scared of as there is no evidence that it is bad - like being scared of the dark.

I had the jab and i have NO underlying health problems.

Josie22 - I'm exactly the same. Had appt booked at GP clinic but cancelled it until I can ask my consultant (I'm diabetic as well as pregnant, 25 wks).

At the moment, I'm thinking:

No if consultant says no (he said no to seasonal flu)
Yes if consultant say yes and if I can have Celvapan
If consultant says yes but I can only have Pandemrix - no idea what to do!
