Swine Flu?

[ClarasMummy]

I really don't feel comfortable with the idea of the vaccine but also do not want to put my baby or myself at risk, am not nearly 36 weeks so not to long to go.
Does anyone know how prevalent Swine Flu is at the moment or has anyone in their third trimester been offered/had the jab already this year?
Any help would be appreciated.

Should say am nearly 36 weeks, been a long night here.

According the the health protection agency press and doctor release email sent on thursday there is a pretty much even mix of H1N1 swine flu (the one thats more dangerous to pregnant women) and H2N3 flu ( typical seasonal).The good news is, if you vaccinate now, your baby will be protected aswell after birth. The odds are that you wont catch the flu obviously, and everyone has there own idea about vaccines. I have had the vaccine because I know of a lady that died last year of swine flu shortly after delivery. You need to decide whats best for you. I dont know of any known risks of the flu vaccine other than sore arm, and minor symptoms post injection.
