I'm so glad to see there are so many other pregnant woman out there who are as unsure about this as I am!! I have asked my GP and OB and both said to give it a couple of weeks and then see, just to make sure there are no side effects.

I am an asthmatic and a teacher and have had the flu vacine in previous years, but I've never had it while pregnant. I know it is a very similar vaccine to the normal flu vaccine but I'm just not sure.

My DH keeps on telling me to have it, he says that the government are recommending it for pregnant woman so therefore it must be ok, but how many times do we question what the government say about things??

My next OB appointment is in 3 wks so I will wait till then and go on my OB recommendation. I think the next wave of it is due during the European winter, so we still have a little time before that really hits.

I completely understand that the risk of getting Swine flu is a very serious one and I definately want to take precautions to stay away from it, but I'm just not sure about this vaccine yet!!

Lou.
