Whooping cough jab

[Purplehippo]

Have mine tonight really not looking forward to it

You'll be fine babe. My arm ached for a few days but that was really about it. Had it done at 4pm and it started aching about 9pm x

 

[Emma867]

It's nothing.

I've got a bruise one week on but that's because the nurse was brutal.

 

[Sarahdisco]

I really need to ask the midwife about mine next time I'm in... it hasn't been mentioned yet!

 

[suffolksazzle]

Sarah, I would mention it yeah. It might be its something that your surgery doesnt offer but worth an ask!

 

[Pink Flowers]

You will be fine Mine hurt for a few days, I did also get a cold but I already had a bit of one when I had jab done x

 

[MumOfPlenty]

I have a feeling my m/w will lump this one on me next time I see her - for the flu jab she just popped to the nurse in the next room over and they bushwacked me there and then

Is it horrendous? Or just like everything else?

 

[suffolksazzle]

Just like everything else, wasnt anywhere close as bad as I thought it was going to be. Seriously, think of what we have to go through in a few months time! The whooping cough injection is NOTHING compared to what we have to come!!

I had mine yesterday, barely even noticed she had stuck it in.
It did itch a bit about 10 mins later but thays it so far.
I took lo in with me so he could see theres nothing to it as hes got his boosters in a few weeks so he was calling me a big brave girl all he cared about was he got a sticker off the nurse
its a little achey today but thats mostly because lo lent on it trying to fly off the edge of the sofa.

It isn't sore at all, you'll be fine. I thought she was just about to put it in then it was done
My arm felt heavy a little while after and is still a bit sore when I lean on it a few days later.
I would get it on the side you don't sleep on. I got it on my left arm as I'm right-handed but I sleep on my left side and can barely get to sleep now

 

[Purplehippo]

Had it done just and I must say mine hurts already

 

[greeneyes098]

mine hurt too, the actual injection was fine but a couple of hours after my arm was aching... it will get better - mine was more achey than anything, though the next day I had my bottom lip out too ... big hugs xx

 

[Purplehippo]

Nope, it's still there now

 

[mrsirish]

Very sore afterwards id a huge lump on my arm the size of a large Apple for days just to let you know that they said that's normal x

 

[meeky81]

Had mine on Wed, and although the injection itself wasn't atall painful, my arm is still killing me! So tender....

Pleased I had it on the side I don't sleep on!
