Ladies I wanted to share with you a fellow TR Sister's story about loss And the flu shot.
As you guys know I was so excited about our recent news that we were expecting. We had several ultrasounds and everything seemed to be going great. at 9 weeks and 2 days I started spotting, this was 2 days after I took the influenza shot recommended by my doctor. On the 27th of november I was put to sleep because our babys heart had stopped beating. I am so sad for our loss but I am happy to know that after over a year after the surgery, we were able to concieve and although that cannot replace this child, it gives us hope in trying again later on. I* feel the need to express concerns to pregnant women who are thinking about taking the flu shot. Let me start off by saying that , Did you know that each year , the "influenza shot" is a new strain? In other words, these new vaccines are not being tested sufficiently to know wether or not it is safe to take. The vaccine also contains 5,000 times the amoount of mercury found in just a glass of drinnking water from the fountain. Some of you may have taken the vaccine last year and may have had a healthy pregnancy, but this years vaccine is not the same as last year because each year they find a new strand and place on the market a new vaccine. We all think its the same because all we see is FLU SHOT GIVEN HERE. Never do you see, please be aware as this is not the same shot as last year and has not been properly tested.* I invite you to google "miscarriages after flu shot" to see the results. Women from 5wk-8 months have lost thier children after taking this vaccine. I did notice that after I got it, my hands were a little numb and my face was red* *but it went away during the first 24 hours so I dismissed it as just being tired .I* cannot be for certain that this was the cause and do not wish to blame anyone but after reading about this, I discovered some scarey info. Over 8,600 reports were made from 2010-2011 alone. 7% of those resulted in death . Ultimately it is the doctors call and some will recommend the shot, some wont. The doctor who recommended it to me , said it was fine versus the doctor I saw during the D&C procedure said there was no way he would reccomend the flu shot simply because these new shots are not being properly tested before* being placed on the market making us the ultimate guinea pigs.After experiencing this and being checked 2 days prior seeing the heartbeat and a healthy growing baby, the only thing I did different during this pregnancy was the flu shot. This is something to think about ladies. I guess the real question is Is is worth the Risk?
