Having mine today - 22 weeks

should I be expecting any side effects? I have such a busy week this week and just occurred to me that it could make me feel rotten afterwards 😣

I didn't!

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 30/01/2024 13:58

I didn't either time

Nursemumma92 · 30/01/2024 13:58

I've had it in both my pregnancies and had no side effects, not even a sore arm.

Ttcmumma · 30/01/2024 13:59

No side affects in my last pregnancy, this time I had 24 hours of fever. May have been a coincidence but it did only last the 24 hours so doubt it was a cold/flu x

I had a sore arm for about 5 days, but nothing much.

CrispAppleStrudels · 30/01/2024 14:01

I had a sore arm for a day or so but that was it.

bettynutkins · 30/01/2024 14:04

First time round I had 24 hours of flu symptoms
Second time round nothing at all

Lavender14 · 30/01/2024 14:06

I remember having a bit of a dead arm after and feeling a bit extra tired but other than that was fine.

SquashPenguin · 30/01/2024 14:08

Sore arm but nothing else.

LittleRobins · 30/01/2024 14:34

No side effects from the two times I had it, not even a sore arm

DappledThings · 30/01/2024 14:36

Not even a sore arm for me either. Wouldn't have known I'd had it 2 minutes after I walked out of the surgery.

DemelzaRobins · 30/01/2024 15:59

I had mine last week. Arm was a little sore afterwards and I had a slight headache the next morning (that could have been unrelated tbf).

No side effects, just a slightly sore arm where the injection was, no big deal

Ismo456 · 30/01/2024 21:37

Thanks everyone had it done this afternoon and so far all good!x

I had a high fever, headaches and vomiting the following day.. though I seem to be in the minority so fingers crossed you’ll be fine!

Couggstar123 · 30/01/2024 23:14

I wouldn’t have known I had it done! For my flu jab this week and have been floored with the cold 🤣🤣

Healthfreak95 · 27/03/2024 08:58

I just had mine yesterday & got swollen lymph nodes above collarbone & a sore swollen arm!! I seem to get that after vaccines though, anyone similar,

Bells3032 · 27/03/2024 09:20
