whooping cough vaccine

[scarednoob]

I had the vaccine this morning on the advice of the mw - and then stupidly googled it. now I am a little bit worried about some of the stuff I've read, even though I've always been pro-vaxxing; I think pregnancy has taken away all my rationality!

did most people here have it/plan to have it, or has anyone had it before?

Got it done at 28 weeks pregnant, had it booked early to be sure I didn't forget to have it done. No brainer, really.

I am a few weeks off having my vaccination but speaking from personal experience (they didn't do it as standard when I was a baby) I had it for 8 weeks when I was 5 years old (ruined my 6th birthday) and it was not something I would want any child to experience, the cough was the nice bit. I can remember constantly feeling sick and throwing up a lot. So I will definitely be having it.
