I’ve my RSV jab tomorrow . I’ve been reading some posts about the RSV jab . How has everyone been after the RSV jab? Is it true that there is a link between the jab and bringing on early labour ? 👀
I would ask my midwife but midwife isn’t until Thursday! Rest a mumma to be mind please 🩵

No the RSV jab does not bring on early labour xx

I had mine a few weeks back, no side effects, didn't even get a sore arm, when you go for the vaccine they will talk you through everything, you can always change your mind when you are there, I think there is a very very small risk of preterm labour but the risk of you or baby catching rsv and ending up seriously ill out weighs the very tiny chance of preterm labour imo.

I’ve been absolutely fine had mine three days ago and no side effects xx

I had my RSV & whooping cough together and didn't feel poorly at all. Slightly sore arm for a day or so, nothing crazy but I think that was just the way they put the needle in honestly. Ultimately it's your choice but I do agree with the above that the pro's of having them far outweigh any potential negatives to protect bubs x

I had no side effects at all and not even a sore arm! Found the whooping cough one worse!

It was fine, didn't even get a sore arm.
Unlike whooping cough which did give me a sore arm for a few days.

I felt much worse after the whooping cough! I had no side effects from the rsv jab

I felt fine after having mine but had a sore arm

I had mine on the same day as a gestational diabetes test and was feeling rough, like a bad cold for a few days. But I'm unsure if it was from the vaccine or something I picked up at the hospital during the GD test.

Didn’t even get a side arm from it, no side effects. There’s no link between the vaccine and early delivery. We’d all be informed if it was true

Had mine last week, arm was v sore for 2 days, hurt to sleep on it! Otherwise fine

I wasn’t fine after mine. Came down with a fever, my hubby had to remind me to take paracetamol. After taking it, I slept well. But I feel it differs as everyone is uniquely different.
But the jab was a quick and go (1 minute thing) IMO.

I had a sore arm for a few days but was absolutely fine xx

I had my RSV jab last week and I was 36+2 and they didn't say anything about it bringing on early labour. I was apprehensive about the side effects as I always seem to get them from jabs but this was fine. I'd forgotten I'd had it tbh until I slept on it on day 3 and it felt slightly tender but that's it. X
