i have gone to the doctor today and asked for his opinion about the flu season and how i should prevent it and he decided to give me a flu shot. I'm only 6 weeks pregnant and i called my OB straight away and he suggested to wait until 2nd trimester. Then i search over the internet and found out a lot of mums who had a flu shots had a autistic child. and also the risk of injecting the preservative Thimerosal which is high in mercury which can cause brain damage.
I'm really really regret of having the flu shot and i can't sleep at night and woke up at 4am and browsing all over again and still can't do anything for myself as i keep asking why i made such a decision of having the flu shot.
i'm soooo worried that i can't eat and very upset.

can someone who have this experience of taking flu vaccine in their first trimester share their experiences? im also very thin and 51kg so not sure if i can take this 'much' amount of Thimerosal into my body which could potentially harm the baby.
