And can't help but feel anxious. It's a different jab to what I had last time around and I therefore can't help but feel anxious that it may harm my baby especially after hearing of other vaccines affecting children etc and the fact it's a new one ( used since2014)
I've had it done under the advice of the midwives and nurses etc but still have this feeling if angst!
Anyone else with me?

Honestly? No, not really. MIL didn't have DH vaccinated against whooping cough because there had been a scare when his older sister was due to be vaccinated and she didn't get it, so he didn't get it either. Result? He caught it, missed his first term of school, and still has a horrible cough when he gets sick as an adult. The risks of not having it done, for me, far outweigh the risks of having it done. Just my opinion though.

The jab is different because it is a 4 in 1 jab which contains tetanus, polio and diphtheria. All of these are to protect your baby until they can have their own jabs at eight weeks
