WHO HAS HAD THE WHOOPING COUGH JAB

[xkatrinax]

My midwife is telling me to get done ive already had flu jab and luckily had no side affects im hoping the wooping cough jab dont make me ill as exstremely uncomfortable as it is

I was suprised that Whooping cough was still around, but I looked it up about a few weeks ago, and there was several cases in Milwaukee where I live (most seemed to be at a local high school) so I'd rather be safe than sorry, too, and have the vaccine.

Had the flu shot and whooping cough a few hours after my daughter was born

I think it depends on the nurse who administers the shot.  I had both already and only slight discomfort.  No bumps or anything.  You should get it in your dominant arm and move your arm a lot that day.  Not a big deal at all.  You'll deal with much worse for baby's arrival.

*be let go from my job

I had to get the flu shot at my job, or else I would let go (seems ridiculous). I ended up getting influenza A (flu). The ER Dr told me that the flu shot was very ineffective this season (like was mentoned above, because of the strains it didn't cover.)
Nothing like being pregnant & having the flu!

Ok thanks

I had mine and everything was fine. My husband still needs his.

I got it at 28 weeks, didn't hurt at all until the next day. I ended up with a ping pong size ball on my arm where I was given the shot. Couldn't move my arm or even sleep on that side for over a week. Was thankful when that pain finally went away. I also refuse the yearly flu shot, no good.

I had it with my first 2 yrs ago. So did my husband, mom and dad.  I will be getting it again at one of my next appointments. My arm got a little sore, but that is very common for IM shots.

I had my TDaP and I was perfectly fine. By the next day my arm wasn't even sore. No sickness. My bf had his last Wednesday and his arm still hurts. I think it depends on who does it and where they stick you.
I refuse the flu shot. They said it turned out to be only 23% effective anyway. They guessed the wrong strain.

I had it to weeks ago and for about a week I had a huge sore lump that hurt when it was bumped. But with the number of whooping cough outbreaks that have happened recently I qould go through it again to make sure my baby is as safe as I can make her.

I had the whooping cough jab and was absolutely fine. My arm wasn't even sore and it was sore after the flu jab.
