Post subject: I actually watched something on it in the middle of the year about Whooping cough being on like a epidemic cycle or something
 like every 12yrs, And that they would be offering this jab to pg mothers purely to protect the unborn child as it can be fatal to babies so young 
It was that Dr Chris Steele on This MOrning  _________________   Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2012 4:20 pm
Post subject: I had both flu jab and whooping vaccination last week. I will take anything that is offered its obviously offered for a reason. If it means preventing my baby from the risk of getting whoooping cough i will have it.

Post subject: Its the same one that baby gets at 8wks etc but this injection is given via mother in order to build up the antibodies to pass to baby through the placenta so they are better protected in the first few weeks before they receive their own immunization
Heres the NHS info on it if anyones worried/unsure http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/Pages/Whooping-cough-vaccination-pregnant.aspx _________________ Posted: Wed Oct 10, 2012 4:43 pm
Post subject: My consultant told me not to have them together cos if one made me bad we wouldnt know which one it was.
She also said she wouldnt have them as baby has our immunity, I assumed it was all to be on the safe side I wont be having them after speaking to her _________________

Post subject: Im booked in for the end of the month to have flu and whooping cough vaccinations at the same time too. The hospital consultant offered to book me in for it but as I had bloods at the drs the next day I said I would ask there... they didn't offer so I had to ask.
Then they said you can only have it after 28 weeks... er... yeah... I know Im carrying small but I am not stoopid
