I am really concerned about having the flu jab because of any side effects for my baby. It just seems like they put this product together so quickly and it may not have been tested very well. Anyone out there that has had this vaccine, and was it ok. Please help I only have until Friday to decide or I will have lost my chance to have it.

Talk to your doctor about the jab they should know all about it and be able to answer any questions or fears you have. I know at least 6 people that have had it and so far noones had bad reactions just sore red arms. xx

She's had it for more than a month now and she is just fine. I am 16 weeks and I go in tomorrow for the shot. I admit I am a little nervous as my almost 2 year old son has to go in too, but what keeps my mind at ease is that I know a few pregnant women who have had one and are just fine. They said the after math is a lot worse if you don't get one and end up sick. Hope that helps. Good luck!
