whooping cough

[pregwith5th786]

So iv received a letter in post from my Dr for a whooping cough jab saying all the pregnant women have it.
Any of the mommies had this?

Got it at 28 weeks. Never even had a sore arm this time

I got the shot at 29wks, it had no side effects, just sore arm.  It helps protect your newborn from deadly respirtal problems,  it's huge outburst right now,  along with polio, measules, n swine fly

Definitely get the vaccine. It is in a triple tier for Tetnus, Pertussis, and diptheria. Usually you will get it at 28 weeks or so to pass some immunity to your little one. Whooping cough kills infants. An adult can usually fight it off but a simple cold can cause pneumonia in babies.  You should also have your spouse or anyone who will be in prime contact also get vaccinated.
