Getting flu jab 2moro afternoon, just because im preggers not because I have any medical conditions btw.

Any one else get it? Does it hurt? I HATE getting needles near me - last wed it was my 28 wk bloods, 2moro flu jab and next wed Anti-D so i may get used to it I suppose. Have heard but it can make your arm fall off... well not exactly fall off but go dead Im worried I wont be capable of driving home or even changing Caitlin later. Am I being a tad dramatic lol?

lol snoopy I think you'll be fine

I hate needles too but when your doing it for a good reason (i.e. because your pregnant) then it's not quite as bad and I think as long as you don't freak out and decide you CANT move your arm afterwards (you won't have any choice if your driving) then you'll be fine!

They are not too bad. We had them the last couple of years (because of Aimee).

She has got hers on Saturday morning but I didnt think to book myself in... maybe I should :/ x

snoops you are hilarious

umm im sure you will be completely fine, if it was likely that your arm would fall off they would warn you not to drive beforehand!

i am umming and ahhing about it too, ive never had the injection before but don't fancy having flu and looking after elijah really hmmm!

anyway isn't it time caitlin started changing her own nappies?

I had one last year because I was pg with moo and it bloody fecking killed, seriously Ive had like 12 piercings, 3 tattoos, given birth and had an c sec and id do any of them before having it again!

I *may* be lying

Everyone that I know that's had the flu jab has ended up getting the flu....

I felt really rough after mine, dont think it was flu though. They did warn me I could have some symptoms but itwouldnt actually be flu iyswiw?

I know Mari, how backward is Caitlin at 2 yrs 2mths still requiring changing! Iv messed up somewhere

Erm now im worrying about getting sick too! Eeeeksss! Im still gona get but as I suppose feeling ropey for a day or 2 is better than having the proper flu for a fortnight. Im so nervous, i'l be on tonight moaning about it no doubt!

And Kayleigh - You were lying right??? My friend Laura said it really hurt after

If you can type that is!

Yeah I was lying lol

It does actually hurt a bit afterwards, all achey and dead especially if for some reason you need to lift your arm above your head but compared to what the flu would do, its nothing x

Well im off to get ready, app at 130pm!

Sounds like i'l have to cancel my weightlifting class tonight Kayleigh

And Jade of course il be on later, il put a pencil in my mouth and jab at the keyboard if I have to!

I've got to have mine too but I keep 'forgetting' to book it. I have it every year and my arm has so far never dropped off

lol ooh snoopy are you back yet? do you still have 2 arms?

Im back! With both arms!!!!

Didnt hurt at all getting it done. Was psyching myself up in waiting room but once I saw 2 kids come out ahead of me happy and alive I figured I needed to grow up

Arm feels a bit heavy now but I think Im imagining it. Dont worry I will keep you updated if my discomfort increases lol!

lol glad it was ok hun

If your feeling ok I htink you should go to your weight lifting class

Im currently weight lifting a mars bar to my gob

Still no sore or dead arm. I keep lifting it to check or tentatively poking it but nothing! How odd! I wonder did she miss with the needle????

hahaha miss what???!!! your ARM???????????

Thats what I meant lol, but as Stuart kindly informed me when I was pg with Caitlin... I dont have bingo wings, I just look like im wearing a cape when I lift my arms! Bastard!!!!

Still no sore arm, now im on the look out for feeling sick. Think I just need to let it go and be grateful!

^^^ lol @ you crazies
tbf though i never bithered with any extra jabs etc when preg with J (swine flu) as i was fed of of being prodded with needles every 5 mins xx
