    Heya ladies, just wandering what your views are on the swine flu vaccination??
    I`ve been contacted by my docs surgery who want me to have one next week, i`m only 8 weeks pregnant and have read the leaflet sent to me but it doesnt say how safe it is for pregnant women!!!
    I`ve heard that the goverment have only tested the vaccine on 5000 people and none were pregnant.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated as unsure what to do xxxx
    Confused in Bournemouth!!;\)

    Hello confused in Bournemouth!

    This is a subject we've debated many times on here, and I've dug out a link I posted with a swine flu webchat held by a Professor from the World health organisation. I think it gives you a pretty good idea of the risks of having or not having the vaccine.

    Hope its of help

    At my antenatal class on Saturday, the MW said that ladies under 14 weeks pregnant would not be offered the vaccine. I'm not sure if this is just hospital policy in my area, or whether there is a 14-week cut-off for a reason, but I would definitely check it out.
