HELP- Flu and whopping cough vaccine while pregnant

[worriedmomtobe1]

Hi mothers of the group,
i have a question which is keeping me worried - i soon have to go for my first scan and will be suggested flu vaccine (recommended by GP) and i am not sure. I have done a lot of research although majority seems to get both these vaccinations during their pregnancy there is a minority that does not and the reasons they have for not getting it makes sense to me. We are injecting into our body things for which there is no 100% guarantee of being safe or working. Also long term effects are hard to judge anyway.
I have read about people loosing heartbeats of their unborn after vaccinations and it has scared me. Please can you help by confirming what you chose and what the outcomes were?
I just to put my mind to rest. My gut feeling is to avoid flu vacinne and get the whopping cough in the 3rd trimester OR not having either...
Thanks alot.

I had flu jab in January, first time, no issues just a sore arm for the rest of the day.
Whooping cough booked next week at 24 weeks (told to have it after 20 weeks) but another benefit of it is that it is a DTP booster too. I had that jab for travel 10 years ago and had no ill effects. As PP said the NHs wouldn't fund and dish out vaccines if they thought there was anything other than the usual tiny risk to a tiny percentage of people that any medical intervention can offer (they'll never say anything is 100% reliable or safe due to those tiny percentages).
Much better to listen to official advise than quacks that pop up on Google. Look at the MMR and autism bloke- research showed over and over that what he said was nonsense but still people fall for it and perpetuate the myth.

Advice not advise, naughty me!
