Not having it...not right for me. Dont let other peoples opinions influence you...do whats right for you xx

I don't want to have it, I haven't been offered it but I'm not happy to put something into my body where we don't know the long term side effects on the baby.

I'm not

but its a totally personal decision xxx

Not getting it and feel very confident and satisfied with my reasons for not getting it. You are not a bad person for not getting it and I think it's disgraceful for someone to suggest you are. People tend to gather their information about the swine flu and the vaccine from the media (news stories, magazines, etc...) and base their decisions around this intense fear mongering (and just to be clear, I think it happens on both sides, those for and against the vaccine). You've got to really do your own research and do your own risk-benefit assessment and make your decision either way from that. No one else should be telling you to get it or not get it, or make you feel bad for either decision. It's entirely personal.
