Hi all, how is everyone today?

Has anyone any thoughts on whooping cough vaccine when pg? Had txt tonight of dd friends mom, her 2 month old daughter is isolation on HDU unit, on 2 lots of antibiotics and an iv drip!

It's not been clinically tested on of women so its a bit worrying whether its better to have it done or not.

I had similar dilemma when pg with youngest and the swine flu jab, which I did have

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated

It's a bit of a hard night for me, a year ago today I was in hospital miscarrying, so will be glad when this day passes. I won't be having the vaccine, there's no long term research been done to say it's safe in pregnancy, they are just going on the fact of how long it's been used on infants, the NHS website states that, so for me personally I won't be having it as I could never have a jab with no safety testing in pregnancy, I know many women have though. It's a worry, I feel it's like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. For the same reason I didn't have the swine flu jab and had no problems. Xxxxxx

The fact is it is not whooping cough only. It's whooping cough, diptheria and tetanus. They don't even tell you that in the blurb.

I saw two children with whooping cough when I was nursing 23 years ago it is very very nasty.
I also came accross it last year when a friend contracted it. 10 months on she is stilll undergoing speach therapy and has been robbed of her beautiful singing voice and can barely speak.
I am still in two minds though.
I have also been told that as a preggnant mum I should get the flue jab as well..

 

[Oasis717]

Yes that's right it's not just the whooping cough vaccine it's the sane dtap that they use on infants xx

Becks anniversary s are always hard xxxxxxxx

 

[Oasis717]

It's also not licensed for use in pregnancy and doesn't guarantee protection, bit worrying x

Thanks Regina, I couldn't think of anything else until the time I woke from my emergency d and c had passed. Very hard xxx

Hi Ladies

Just a quick pop in - my head is still all over the place but knowing I have all your love and support is helping

I still have two very lively boys to entertain - 3 if you count hubby so it isn't easy

Thanks for the lovely poem Lisa - my waterworks started again

Becks -

Kat/Josie - How is the PMA holding up - love what you have done to the fireplace Kat it really stands out

Left - Another day

AFM - I am trying to keep busy but I have some crappy cramping going on - wondering if I will even make it to the DNC as when I wipe it's like the end of your period - which of course this time will mean the beginning for me I am also wondering if I could have passed it - without much pain or bleeding kind of like a slow m/c (is there such a thing) see what I mean my head is a mess

Oh no something I've just realised - I have had 3 babies die around the same time in June 2011, 2012, 2013 what the hell does that mean

[Oasis717]

Thanks Fi, I'm so sorry you're going through this, it's the worst it really is, the waiting is awful, I had that with my second loss of last year, two one after the other was devastating. Sending you so much love xxxxxxx

Hi Fiona ,
Not sure there is such a thing as a "slow miscarriage " it's probably just taking time .
June has not been a kind or happy month for you in the last few years Hang in there girl xxxxxx How old are your boys Fiona ?

 

[garfie]

Left - I know I think I'm just clutching at straws my boys are 10 & 12

How are you feeling today - symptoms getting stronger?

[Left wonderin]

Awh love ages .... Just about to hit the realm of the teen years lol., where all the REAL fun begins Garfie the symptoms are mild enough , empty pit feeling but not nothing appealing to me to eat . Episodes of feeling mild nauceouness but that only kick in in the pm and comes and goes. Boobs not feeling very sore and I'm having great difficulty with restless legs and falling asleep . To be honest none of that matters , I won't even begin to contemplating relaxing until after my scan on the 12th of July . As we all know nothing is certain xxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Kat S]

Garfi, I truly wish that any of our baby loss pain made sense somehow, but I haven't found any sense in it. It's just harsh and cruel and not fair. I hope your m/c is as painless and short as possible. Hugs to you. You have the solace of two wonderful boys, and I hope they are being extra good to you.

Well, here it is 8 dpiui. Today I have slight breast tenderness and yesterday my bout of constipation ended rather epically. Both are sure signs that AF is on the way. Last night I had a terrible, vivid dream that I got my period and it was all over for good. I know that was just my subconscious working out my fears. I just haven't had a good feeling about this cycle since about day 3 or 4.

The reason I'm so very down about it is because the money we set aside to do this is gone. I don't have years more to try because of my age as well as our empty bank account. Hell, I don't have months left to try. This cycle may have been it unless we find some magical secret money somewhere. We refuse to go into debt to try to conceive, so we set aside a certain amount of money and hoped that would be enough. It wasn't.

Vivid dreams and sore boobs is all good ! Your not out yet Kat xxxxxxxxxx
