Had flu jab on Monday. Think I might have flu today.

[itisntreallyme]

Is that even possible?

Feel awful. Hot/cold, exhausted, jelly legs, sore head, achey everything, runny nose... temperature was 37.6 last time I checked. Am 12 weeks pregnant.

Do I just sit this out in bed or should I attempt to see a doctor?

Maybe it's just a bad cold...?

It is possible - the flu jab takes 10 days to take effect, apparently.

Don't panic, your temperature isn't that high - there was a cold going round my office with similar symptoms.

But if it was me, I would attempt to see a doctor, in the spirit of getting peace of mind during pregnancy.

im exactly the same, i had it on Wed and this morn woke up feeling so ill, so achey, headache, really sore when i cough like burning fire!! im 6 weeks pg and i wish i hadnt had it cos im going to be ill for xmas day! the nurse told me that it didnt have any side effects apart from a sore arm, but i do think its this that has made me ill, i havent felt like this for a couple of years, sorry no real advice just sympathy x

flu jab always gives me a mini flu for a few days AND a sore arm!

Oh well. Hopefully it won't last long. Thanks for replies and wishing you a speedy recovery too neverlookback.

I had the flujab in October. Fine on the Friday, then MOn/Tue later felt terrible. ANd we were on holiday
SAme happened to 2 colleagues.
It seems to have a delay on it. But you will only feel rough fopr a day or so.

I had flu jab on wed morn and by lunchtime I felt like death. Temperature, shakes, achy all over, headache you name a flu symptom I had it lol Felt worse yesterday even to the point of being offered tamiflu in case it was swine flu. However fever broke in the night and although not 100% today I feel a squillion times better My advice from the GP, drink loads of water, eat little and often, when you have a shower (if you feel up to it)sprinkle olbas oil or karvol in the shower and it'll act like a steam room to clear your nose and chest and honey and lemon in hot water to soothe your throat. Oh and paracetamol to bring your temp down. Worked a treat especially the shower thing. Happy xmas for tomorrow, hope you feel better xx
