I've read the swine flu vaccine thread, but would you have it before 12 weeks?

I would be quite happy to have one after twelve weeks, but would have one during the first twelve weeks?

Personally, I wanted to wait until after, so I did. Not really sure why but if anything had gone wrong, I would always have wondered if the jab was the reason.

If swine flu had reached pandemic levels again and I was at real danger of imminently catching it, then yes, probably. But at the moment numbers seem relatively low, and there hasn't been any mention of it on the news for a while, and I don't spend a lot of time in crowded places, so I'm waiting until advised to have it (or not) by my midwife.

I'd want to wait until after too. Agree with cuppa

I'm about to give birth any day and noone has ever offered me the swine flu jab. Personally I think it's nothing to worry about - all completely blown out of proportion for months and it now seems to have disappeared! Don't worry about it x

I had the swine flu vaccine last year when pregnant with DD. I elected not to receive it until after 12 weeks, not because I thought there was any huge risk - I didn't - but because if I had miscarried I would never have known if it was the vaccine that caused it.

No i would probably wait, although I can't think of a logical reason why.
