last friday, when the H1N1 was once again available to pregnant women, i decided to go for it. mainly because with this graduated release to the public, no one knows when jesse or my mom would be eligible to get it.
so i got the non-adjuvanted kind, the one formulated for preggos. either my nurse was a needle champ or this needle barely hurt. i don't mean as it was going in, i mean afterwards. usually with the regular flu shot, my arm is so sore afterwards that i can hardly use it for days. with this one, it was just a teensy bit sore in the evening, but that was all.
i'm confident i made the right choice. they say the knowledge is limited when it comes to how much of these antibodies are passed on to the fetus, but if i can offer her any protection when she comes into this world, i think it's worth it. as for the mercury (which i was certainly concerned about), i certainly hope it will not affect her brain any negative way whatsoever.
this was my very first BIG decision as a "mom". and it's only just beginning. i hope i have made the right choice...
