I heard last night that 28 pregnant mothers ages from 19 to 41, have died from NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW and they died only days or a week after taking the swine flu shot....OH, and none were sick prior to getting the shot...

Great.
Guess what:

I just found out my youngest sister is pregnant with baby #2. She is 5+ months pregnant. She is 40 yrs.
She is an emergency services doctor. She works regularily on weekends. Long shifts ..12 hrs. each. She sleeps at the hospital. It's 100 kms. one way from home.
She is the primary breadwinner because of her significantly higher salary even though she's only part-time. They have a 20 month old daughter.
She did not answer my email about H1N1 vaccination for herself.

And it's confirmed within the last 24 hrs. my father has prostate cancer. The doctor-sister is the family member who is/will be the main info. conduit..and yes, she is the one in direct communication with father's physician.

There is considerable stress right now on certain family members.

Orchid, would'nt the hospital where your sister works make vaccination compulsory for medical professionals at the frontline of healthcare? My daughter's hospital has had to shut down a ward recently because of swine flu. She has had her vaccination which considerably puts my mind at ease.

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad's bout with prostate cancer. It helps tremendously to have a doctor in the family as she would be able to explain to the rest the nature of the illness and the appropriate treatment your Dad would have to undergo. I pray all be well.

Our Group Practice have only 100 doses at present.Pregnant ..preschool are first in line to receive these.Then "at risk groups"
No doubt this will change as the labs release more.

I had a seasonal flu shot last Friday..felt very slightly headachey for a day.Took things quietly and feel fine.

My neighbor caught the Swine Flu and was sick for nine weeks. She lost a ton of weight and felt truly horrible. It's an awful flu and if I could find somewhere that carried the shot, I'd be in line to receive it.

I am going to stop shaking hands!

orchid, I've known two men who have had prostate cancer lately. Fortunately, it was caught early, but other than exhaustion and being tied to the bathroom at times, they did really well. I hope they caugh it early. Is your sister in their town, and how far are you from Mom and Dad?

I believe 13 people in Md have died in MD already.

My daughter, 26, is pregnant with her second baby. She has decided not to get the swine flu shot....Heard and believes many negatives. I personally don't know, either way...I just worry about her and her first little boy. Her neighbor who is also pregnant and a nurse , also decided not to get it. There is so much contradicting information out there about it all.

Lets face it when 28 perfectly healthy, young, pregnant women are vaccinated for the swine flu and all are mysteriously DEAD within a week, what else is there to know? Something stinks to high heaven around here. I personally wish it was proven to be a SAFE method of avoiding this flu, but it is NOT! Scary....
