Comment: I am re-posting this for the benefit of pregnant women in Canada

who may not be aware of the issues that have arisen in the USA since the

vax was rolled out there. It should be noted that there are different H1N1

vaccines being used in various parts of the USA (different manufacturers,

and they also have a nasal spray which is not available in Canada). The GSK

vaccine offered in Canada is somewhat different again, but most of the same

ingredients are being used. Canada has, however, also purchased a

non-adjuvanted vax (without squalene) for pregnant mothers. It has been reported

that this vaccine has _10 times more mercury (Thimerosal) than the regular

adjuvanted vaccine_

Some Pregnant Women Fearful of H1N1 Vaccine

Miscarriage / Pregnancy Loss Blog

By Krissi Danielsson, About.com Guide to Miscarriage / Pregnancy Loss

Tuesday September 29, 2009

An article in Minneapolis Star Tribune reports on how some pregnant women

are skeptical of the new H1N1 vaccine. Pregnant women are among the groups

strongly advised to get the vaccine, but many women are less than thrilled

about the idea of getting the shot, reporting concerns about the safety of

the vaccine and possible effects for the unborn baby.

I can definitely see where they are coming from, being someone who was

concerned about safety of pretty much everything when I was pregnant. And there

’s not much research on the safety of any type of flu vaccine during the

first trimester, much less thimerosal exposure in the first trimester,

although the CDC says that flu vaccination is advisable in any trimester during

a pandemic. Still, there are definite risks to catching the flu during

pregnancy also — and pregnant women seem to be at higher risk of having

severe

complications (including death) from H1N1 flu in particular. As with most

cases, all you can really do is weigh the risks and benefits of both courses

of action and discuss your concerns with your doctor — then make an

informed choice on how to proceed.

What are your thoughts? Do you plan to get the H1N1 flu vaccine,

especially if you are currently pregnant or hope to become pregnant in the near

future? Vote here.

(1) Jo says: I got the flu vaccine (regular not H1N1) at 8 weeks pregnant.

Three days later I miscarried. I am not going to get the H1N1.

(2) Regrets says:

I got both vaccines on Thursday. I was 9 weeks pregnant. I miscarried on

Sunday. I was told by several doctors to get these vaccines. Now I wish I

followed my gut feeling and not get them at ALL!

outweigh the risks†1am i got the vaccine, 3am i started bleeding and

craming, 3pm miscarried. you decide

(4) sue says: I had the H1N1 vaccination and 24 hours later had a

miscarriage.

(5) Linda Hill says: My daughter in law was 10 weeks pregnant and had the

H1N1 vaccine on Friday that night she miscarried.

(6) Stephanie says: I received the H1N1 over a week ago. I am now 5 weeks.

(7) SoSorry says:

I was so ready to get the H1N1 vaccine last week and they were only giving

them to pregnant women. I was 6 weeks along and got it and the next day I

started cramping and miscarried. I already had two healthy pregnancies and

never miscarried or had any problems. My doctors think I am crazy to think

it was the H1N1 but if no one looks into this than other women will not

know. I am so sorry that I got it.

I also received the H1N1 vaccination on October 22nd, 2009 and went into

labor on October 25th, at 16 weeks pregnant and we just heard the heartbeat

and everything was fine with my pregnancy on October 16th, 2009, then on

October 28th my water broke then on October 29th, I delivered a stillborn

baby boy, and no one can tell me why…Everyone wants to say it did not come

from the shot but I believe it did. My baby was growing at the correct pace

and everyone wants to brush off the vaccination. I say if you have the

vaccination and suffer a miscarriage if they are able to perform an autopsy

have

it done.

(9) Connie says:

I also agree something needs to be done and looked more into with this

vaccination because most women are being advised it’s just something that

happens, but I also had two healthy children normal pregnancies and when I

received this vaccination with my third pregnancy, my baby is gone. Contact me

(10) sioux falls, south dakota says:

I received the H1N1 vaccine on October 16th and started experiencing

cramping on the 22nd. I was nearly 17 weeks pregnant and gave birth to a

stillborn baby boy on the 23rd. Like many of the other women here, the first

thing

I suspected was the H1N1 vaccine. I immediately asked a nurse at the

hospital if that would have anything to do with it. Without hesitation, she told

me “absolutely not.†I had reservations about getting the vaccine, but

followed the advice of my long trusted family doctor. In a follow up

appointment with my doctor 3 days after I lost my baby, I asked him if the

vaccine

would have had any adverse effects on my baby. He also said that it was not

possible. I don’t believe that my doctor was necessarily lying to me, he

was simply following the accepted practices and opinions of his field. I do,

however, believe that as a nation, we are being lied to. This vaccine is

NOT safe during pregnancy. There has not been enough testing done to

determine this and there are far too many “coincidences†for this to be

anything

but a result of a vaccine that was hastily pushed into production and

distribution in an effort to stop widespread panic. I have read so many stories

in defense of the vaccine that will talk about how common miscarriages are,

but I would challenge you to ask ANY health care professional how common

second trimester miscarriages are. My baby was doing perfect developmentally

and I had felt him move earlier that day. My heart goes out to all of you

out there who have had to go through the same heartache and loss that I have

had in the last couple of weeks. There is no reason that any woman or

family should have to go through this. Get the word out to all of the pregnant

women that you know. I know that if I had heard that women had been losing

their babies shortly after they received the vaccine, I would have followed

my gut and not gotten it myself. Maybe then Wyatt would have had a chance

at life.

If you read the novatis or baxter pkg insert available on the web you will

find that 1. there is not sufficient testing on pregnant women so they

dont know how safe it is….its not recommended for children under 2 is not a

fetus a child under 2? there is no conclusion on safety with breastfeeding…..

Md’s just want to scare the hell out of you for the 1% that can get very

sick..If folks would just wash hands frequently, stay away from sick

contacts as much as possible and take supplements and live a healthy way…you

likely can avoid the flu altogether… SOOOOO Sorry for your losses….my <3

breaks

for you all
