There are a lot of threads on this if you search you will find more opinions. In answer to your question, yes I had it at 5 weeks, no I had no side effects.

I had it around 5 weeks also, and haven't experienced any side effects. Had a scan and all was fine, heard the heartbeat and everything at 11 weeks.

im getting it as a friend of mine is now in a coma (went in on xmas day) after collapsing at home due to swine flu and they had to deliver her baby at 27 weeks.
She is still in the coma and obv doesnt know her baby has been born.

I had the vaccine at 6 weeks and had no side effects apart from the soreness in the area where I had the jab. My DD has her vaccine as well, and she had some soreness but was totally fine.
