I'm due to have this today but feel a bit Ill...have had a very bad cold for weeks and it's gone off but I'm definitely not back to 100%.

I want to have the jab but wondering if I should if feeling mildly Ill already?

Anyone had it and had any side effects? I am only 29 weeks and I know I can have it at any point so probably no major rush but interested to hear other's experiences with it.

No side effects aside from a sore arm for a couple of days!

I had mine yesterday and I'm just getting over a bad cold. The only side effect I've had is a sore arm too...which made me yelp when I rolled on it this morning!

I think you need to have it 28-32 weeks. Plus it's just the flu jab they say not to have if poorly? www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/pages/whooping-cough-vaccination-pregnant.aspx

Had mine yesterday too and no side effects other than a heavy arm.

The nurse did ask if I was well in myself, you should still go and take the nurses advice, she can a,ways rebook you if she thinks you are too unwell.
