Whooping cough vaccine uk ladies

[Hannah11]

Hi I have just booked to get my whooping cough jab @ my 31 week midwife app. However, I had a quick google ( never a good idea) and there were some worrying reviews and reports about side effects, reduced movement etc following it. Just wondering if anyone has positive/negertive experiences or views on it. I would do anything to protect my new born getting whooping cough however, afterwhat I have read I am questioning whether it is the right thing to do now.

Hey,

I had mine yesterday after much umming and ahhing. The only noticable thing is a sore arm really.

I had mine 2 weeks ago. In my area there has been a huge increase in cases of it in newborns, I've lost one baby, I couldn't lose another, especially over something that could of been prevented. I didn't really have any reduced movement. My arm was ok that day, but sore the 2 days following, with a bit of a lump for about 10 days. That afternoon I felt exhausted, no idea if that was connected, and my arm itched and ached for a few days x

I had no reduced movement at all and tbh it sounds like scare mongering from people trying to scare others. You might have a sore arm...get it done on the arm you dont sleep on lol if u sleep on ure side lol! You might get a large raised lump on the injection site but ultimately youre potentially protecting your baby from something life threatening xxx

Had mine yesterday. My arm is a tad sore but baby is active as ever, if not more so today!

The only real side effect if you are usually fine with vaccines are that you'll have a sore arm, and it can get quite sore (bruised feeling).

Stay off google. It is better to protect your newborn than have them contract Whooping Cough.

All I got was a sore arm

Got mine tomorrow night. Like the others have said if I can protect my little angel from something that may harm them then I'm gonna do it, couldn't live with myself if I didn't and baby caught it.

My arm was sore, couldn't sleep on it for a couple of nights. It did bruise.

I had no reduced movements.

I still have a purple patch on my arm from it and this was weeks ago. Awful vaccine had massive red bump on arm for ages, itched like crazy and very sore.

 

[Miss Bellum]

I had a slightly sore arm, but it was only noticeable if I touched it or put weight on it. Otherwise, no issues at all.

I've had mine too and my arm was pretty sore for a few days but that was it. I did have reduced movement but I think that was coincidence imo... I also have an extensive anterior placenta so don't feel all movements...

 

[TrixieLox]

Definitely scare-mongering! Not heard stuff like this. I had mine and didn't hesitate to after seeing some of the reports about whopping cough on the news. Was fine after and since.

 

[Smudge101]

I had a sore arm but no reduced movement.

There are always going to be scare stories about vaccines and cases where things go wrong. I weighed up the risks and decided that I couldn't live with myself if my baby got whooping cough when I could have avoided it.

I had mine at 30 weeks and my lo is doing just fine x

 

[Hannah11]

Thanks ladies just what I needed to hear - should of come on hear first before doing to dreded google!!!'

 

[Dani_Ldn]

Only a sore arm here & me wishing I had the jab on the side I don't sleep on! No reduced movements at all.

 

[Lawgirl]

I have mine in a few weeks and although my head says it will be fine, there is a tiny bit of me that's scared. So it's good to hear all these stories of it being ok.

 

[ShirlWirl]

Be prepared for the sore arm!! All good here 2 weeks after having it

 

[nickynora]

I've not even been offered this, should I have been?
