After several fights/discussions with Christian I decided to take the vaccine. I’ve just been so afraid of adverse effects on the baby since it hasn’t been tried out yet. Anyway, I called the doctor’s office, but they told me to call back on Thursday as they started vaccinating people at risk of complications from the new influenza on Monday. And I knew that I could get the vaccine at the midwife’s office from the same day. A couple of days later I discovered that the midwife’s office got the vaccine from Friday, so I called the doctor’s office again to hear if I could get an earlier appointment there instead. And I was told that I could come on Monday 9th. Whaa? That’s a week later than everybody else! I mean, if I’m gonna have this vaccine, then I’m at least gonna get early…

So I called a private clinic and was told to just come today, so I did. And I waited for an hour, went in for about 2 minutes, got the vaccine and waited 20 minutes to see if I got any side effects. And all that made me 2.5 hours late for work, but at least I got a needle in my arm. I was sure it would hurt, but I hardly felt it.

Well, I can feel it now. My arm is really sore, and I can’t understand why they injected it in my right arm. Oh well. Just hoping I won’t be spending this weekend in bed with sore muscles and a fever.

And I’m crossing my finger that I did the right thing. It’s all for you, my precious.
