Day after whooping cough vaccination

[EBM20]

I had the whooping cough vaccination yesterday, late morning. Other than a achey arm I felt fine all day.

Then it come to bed time, I struggled to get comfortable, if I led on my left (the side I had the vaccine) it really hurt, I struggle to sleep on my right as that's the side baby is and every time I lay on that side i get pain then pins and needles down my leg, midwife said this is normal and it's likely baby is sat on a nerve. I must have got about 3 hours sleep, around 5am I went to the bathroom and was reaching but nothing came up but I couldn't stop the urge to reach.

This morning I woke up in a hot sweat, again went to the toilet but was never actually sick. I have a massive headache, keep going hot and cold and I ache all over. I had a few rich tea biscuits and a glass of water and not long after I was throwing it back up. I've done a 4 soft stools but not diaoreah. I've also got stomach pain ( like when you have a dodgy stomach).

Is this normal after the whooping cough vaccination or should I be concerned?

May be worth calling your GP just to reassure you. I only got the aching arms with both mine.

I only got an achy arm for a couple days and I felt a bit tired but that’s all x

I felt like this after the flu jab then felt nothing after the whooping cough vaccination, not even a sore arm!
I would wait 24 hours to see if the symptoms die down. If they persist, call your GP.

I felt really really crappy for a couple of days after mine too, headaches etc and my arm was so sore. I thought I was coming down with something big but it did just pass after a couple of days x

I felt absolutely awful for a day or so after mine, but keep an eye on it. If it lasts into tomorrow I would give your GP a call x

Achy arm really common and mine eased after a couple of days. The midwife advised me that you can get a fever as a rare side effect but that it should go with paracetamol, so definitely give your GP a call if this isn't the case. Hope you're feeling better soon x

Flu like symptoms are normal but shouldn't last longer than 48 hours, I've had mine today and that's what the nurse told me.

Doctors sent me to a&e with suspected sepsis. Fingers crossed its nothing

Hope you’re ok. I felt really crap the day after my jab. So sleepy and needed a nap. A sore arm for a week.

Bloody hell OP, hope everything's ok! Wasnt expecting to read that!

Hope all is good with you and baby

Everything is fine and normal, nothing showed up in my bloods. Gave me a bag of fluids as they found ketones in my urine and feel allot better. They are sending me home soon with anti sickness tablets. I saw baby yesterday at my 20 week scan and he's growing nicely, no concerns. He's been kicking about regularly so they don't have any concerns with him

Great news 😊
