Thank gawd my doctor's office was out of the swine flu when they wanted to give it to me. I got the regular one and felt like s@#$.

I had the vaccine at 6 weeks and the only side effect that I had was soreness in the area I got the jab. Otherwise, I was fine. So was my daughter who also had the same thing as me.

I had the mist eariler ... probably in November. I wasn't pg, then, but was bfing. I felt fine. I am fairly sure it is safe in first tri -- I know it safe in second and third.

Honestly, if I didn't already have it, I would get it now. Even if it did make me feel crap for a day or two. The actual flu is worse, esp when you are pg.

I personally would never have the swine flu injections as i've heard so many nightmare, and awful stories about it. I will be staying right away from it. I didn't even have my normal flu jab this year. x

Im the same . i couldnt get it. heard to many conflicting storys. When i said no to my doctor he said of the record he was glad. But you need to make your own mind up and speck to your health providers for advise. Its a hard decision but as soon as my mind was made up i felt good.

It is advised not to get the shot until your 2nd trimester, I'd never get that shot while pregnant or not. It's dangerous and untested in pregnant women.

I got mine before I got pregnant and I felt okay. I know people who got them when they were pregnant though.

I've read alot about this. I won't get into my personal beliefs about the swine flu, but in my research I've found out many women miscarry after receiving the shot.
Do your homework and don't just get it cause the news says so.
