Hiya,
Well as most people here know now im about 18wks pregnant and have just heard on the news that Swine Flu Vaccines are being offered to all pregnant women. Just wondering what everyone else thinks of this?
Im asthmatic as well, so will probably be recommended to have it done, but i really dont like any type of innoculations without proper long-term research done into it..but on the other hand i wouldnt want to catch it and risk my baby's health.
What does everyone else think? I know there are a few of us pregnant girlies on the forum at the moment! :o)

Hi i'm the same i'm not sure what to do for the best!
I know a few people that have had swine flu and said it not nice but they got over it!
I don't want to risk catching it and harming my baby but who says the jab wont cause harm??
think i'm gonna do research on it and ask midwife etc and wait a little!
Let me know what you decide! x

Hi , i don't want to worry you but if i was pregnant i would not be having this injection. It has merclary in it, same as the MMR JAB THAT MADE MY GIRL AUTISTIC. I sure ly wont be having it and my girl niether.
This can damage the brain of a child before age 5years as a child's brain is not devloped till then. Go to the autistic website and read for your self about merclary also in certain fish like mackral and river fish and some shell fish. Hope you go read it jen

Our midwife advised us that it is perfectly safe ( my partner is pregnant 28 weeks) she works in care at the moment so is on the first wave to get it done.there wont be any long term studys because pregant people rarely volouteer for medical research the only thing they can do is report on is side effects and people who have none. so gowith what your heart tells you and report back to your gp even if you dont have any side effects so they can pass it on and you will help future people make their decisions

Hi I am sure it is safe for the majority of people but for the minority it wont be,mark my words and wait and see. I got told the mmr was safe!!!!!! My doctor told me 1 in a thousand got a problem, the racio is in fact 1 in 46 so i dont trust jabs of any kind. If you had a child like mine you would think twice too.If i could go back and have my chance again for my child i would not have had any jabs at all, including the first ones. Your choice of cause jen

I'm sorry but it may not be the mmr that caused it! My son is autistic too so i know all about that but we saw it in him before the jab! My good friend's little girl has it too and she never had the mmr jab!!
As far as the mmr goes i had all mine done it's safer!! you can die or be seriously ill from measles mumps and rubbella but you can live with autism!!
Each to their own on that one but i not 100% on swine flu jab but i am 100% on mmr etc babies are given!!!

Well im extremely reluctant, but my partner thinks i should have it done. Im someone who doesnt take any pills or medications if i can help it, i even breathe through asthma attacks - only taking the inhaler if it really wont slow down and have given birth twice already completely drug-free. I had my children innoculated for their first set of jabs, but refused to take them back for the others after they both had severe sickness/reactions. I also refused my daughter to have the cervical cancer injection, and am very happy i did after the side effects a lot of girls have had recently.
Im also in the mindframe that most people fully recover from SwineFlu? Im not particularly highrisk in my opinion..but obviously am not a doctor and dont wana risk anything (neither the illness nor the injection) which could cause any damage to my unborn baby. :o(
Let me know wot ur midwife says please!

im sorry if i was pregnant i wouldnt have it,but thats me.obviously im scared of getting swine flu and it does make you quite ill. ive known people to have it.But dont feel enough research has been done into the swine vaccine.Id just try and avoid people ,to try and keep at bay and away from me.As for the mmr my son had a reaction after that jab and like a fit and im sure he got his form of autism from the jab but cannot prove it.
As for the cervical cancer jab, if my daughter was to come home with a letter saying it was time for her to have the jab,id say no and a big no at this moment in time.The girls in my sons year had it a fortnight ago,and only 6% stayed in school during the afternoon, they were feeling ill,vommiting and 2 passed out and most had to go home.My cousin has had cells removed after a routine smear test and i have to keep having repeats.Yet i still wouldnt let her have it.I am lucky its 12 months away from my daughter having it and i hope in that time things improve and then only will i consider it.
I live in Coventry, and it was in the news where the girl died after having the jab,she was from coventry too .I do know it was proved that this didnt kill her, it was another underlying health problem but still it puts me off.
Also.my mum has a really bad heart she is in her 50s and has had 2 heartattacks and a tripple heart bypass.The docs want her to have the swine one and the flu one.but shes refused the swine one due to not enough research.They said at the docs you can be the human guinea pig for people with heart conditions and she said no way it nearly kills her having the flu one, she always has side effects from that!! and has turned the flu one down.She is having the one against pneumonia though. so 2 out of 3 she is having

I am in the same position regarding the swine flu vaccine except it is with my kids not me! I've thought it over now and decided that I will get the kids done when it is offered (one child 14 months & another who is classed as 'vulnerable'). The reason I've decided to get them vaccinated isn't so much to protect them but to protect other vulnerable people who may come in contact with them if they got it. I don't think I could live with it on my conscious if someone else died after getting swine flu from someone in my family who had the opportunity to get the jab but didn't.

my husband had a lung removed due to cancer he went for his flu vaccine last week and they have told him they will be calling for him soon for the swine flu jab he not having it and has told them that until more research has been done the same with me and my kids and to be honest if i was pregnant i wouldnt have it but thats me and how i feel .
i allowed my daughter the cervical cancer one had i read more about it she wouldnt have that either .
both my daughters myself and my eldest daughter have been extremley ill over the last few weeks with some tyoe of flu temps hitting 40 we wer e prescribed tamiflu we took a couple of tablets and threw the rest they made us 4 times as bad especially the little one so there is no way they going use us as trials . i know its important and scarey the fact that swine flu is a big risk but think more testing needs to be done before they start dishing it out .

I have ME and it is advised by the Association that people with ME do not have the Yearly Flu Jab unless they have other at risk Issues.
I went to discuss it with my Doctor yesterday and she advised me to have it as I have a number of other at risk factors, so I had the Jab last night.
She said I would be contacted and offered the Swine Flu Jab for the same reason, I said I did not feel I should have that one and she agreed as enough is not known about it yet.

We have the flu jab and have had the pneumonia jab ( at least that ones only every ten years ) people have been known to react to that one very badly too , but we were both fine (; just not so sure about the swine flu jab though ( due to lack of research etc ) we are both high risk , i'm diabetic and my hubby has had a quad bypass and is borderline diabetic too , plus my eldest daughter is also 13 weeks pregnant , so we are all doing a lot of do we don't we's ? at the mo and just not sure we will have them .

Well im still not sure - am errring towards probably not getting it done. As for the HPV vaccine, you still have to have the regular smears done and tested if you get abnormal cells, and it only protects against one cause of Cervical Cancer anyway - so i thought as long as my daughters have their regular smears done then they wont need the injection coz any abnormal cells should still be picked up early enough to get treated.
That was the conclusion i came to anyway, again in my mind not enough research has gone into the longterm effects of this injection and i was reluctant to get my daughter done.
