I'm not pregnant, so I'm not sure if my reply is what you're looking for. However, I have asthma and have the flu jab every year, and it always makes me feel rough. I specifically now book it on a Friday so I can recover over the weekend. I hope you feel better soon, and if you're very worried or feeling very unwell please reach out to your medical team :)

I'm not pregnant but have the flu vaccine every year usually with just a sore arm, this year I was in bed for 24 hours with a temperature, shivers, nausea and pain in all my joints. I kept telling myself it's better than having the flu though (only had it once and was in bed a week and I'll for about 6 weeks).

I've had it previously where I had 24 hours of chills, body aches etc. Vanished quickly after 24 hours.

Thank you all for your replies they’ve been very useful to know! I’ve been in bed most of the day but I’m now hopeful I’ll feel better tomorrow!
