Anyone pregnant and taken booster vaccine?

Hi I am 13+6 weeks and have been invited to take the booster vaccine which I have booked for the 27th November. I took the flu vaccine a few weeks ago and was fine after it but my only concern was how unwell I was after both the 1st two vaccinations so just wanted to know how others got on after their booster jabs whilst pregnant? I had a scare on Friday as well with a large bleed so just naturally feeling a bit anxious.

Yes I had mine about a month ago. Sore arm for a few days but that's it.
I would have been about 21 weeks. But I also had no adverse reaction to the first 2.

Yes I've got my booster booked for next week! Know the protection from it will take a couple of weeks to kick in so being very careful for now since I know the protection from my first 2 jabs will be starting to wear off a bit

I had my booster at 18 weeks and was fine. My first 2 jabs pre-pregnancy had me poorly for a few days, the booster was a breeze with just a sore arm for a couple of days.

Had booster October, due March so 5 months after booster. Should I try to get a second booster

They've (government and scientists) have not said anything about getting a second booster

Happily had my booster yesterday, only a sore arm last night which has been easing off today. Though everyone will react differently. The important thing to remember is these affects will only be temporary and the benefits for you and baby will be far more long term.

I had mine at 16 weeks. No side effects at all. Then 2 weeks later I had the flu & whooping cough vaccine 😂 feeling relieved they're all done

I went to get mine at a walk-in vaccine centre on Monday as soon as I was allowed to! Slightly tender arm, but only enough to know I'd been jabbed. After my second jab in July I could barely move my arm for 24 hours so this time was way milder!

The next day, however, and this is probably just a coincidence, my nausea came back. I was 18 weeks on Tuesday and I've read a lot of people have symptoms come back around now. No flu-like symptoms or anything, just the same crap from first trimester!

Had both my flu jab and covid booster on the same day at 20 weeks. Felt slightly off the next day (nothing bad, just a happy I’m off work and can stay in bed most of the day type day), and sore arm. Was fine by the next day. I also had a az for first two and Pfizer for the booster which could also explain symptoms.

I had both the covid booster and flu at the same time when I was about 29/30 weeks. Just felt bit wiped out the next day with sore arm but was ok.
