Oh Lisa, that sounds awful. I am so sorry to hear that you are having such a tough time. I have heard how awful it can be and that is why I am stressing so much about doing the right thing for our baby. The little ones really suffer from it because they end up panicking because they can't get air. At least we can understand what is happening and control it to *some* extent. I really hope that you and your family get better soon. Thanks so much for the advice, a friend of mine said exactly the same thing: just get it done as soon as baby is out!

Sararose, providing the OB gives me the go-ahead, I will get my doctor to prescribe the vaccine for my parents and I. I will take mine to the hossy so they can administer it while I am still there. My folks will need to get it done as soon as they arrive here. You are right, it is bundled will tenatanus, diptheria and polio - unfortunately you cannot get a WC booster on its own. Thank you for the government vaccination number, I will be giving them a call as soon as I post this

Thank you both so much for your feedback and advice - I really appreciate it x
