I had my H1N1 shot at a little over 8 weeks. I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks. The baby had stopped growing at 9 weeks. I will never know if it was caused by the H1N1 shot, but I believe it may have been.

I went to the doctor at 6-7 weeks pregnant and she suggested I have the Swine Flu shot, so I did. Figured it was better to be safe than sorry. At 9 weeks I returned to the doctor as I started to bleed. She sent me for a scan and it turns out I was having a miscarriage and that it had died at 7 and a half weeks. I have always tried to put certain reasons to the back of my mind, as I will never truly know the answer, but it did cross my mind as to whether the shot had anything to do with it. I don’t understand how they can say there are no known side affects with this, as it hasn’t been used long enough to really know. maybe they should take these examples as possibilities.

I had the H1N1 at 7 weeks then misscarried at the end of my 9 weeks, I can’t help to think the H1N1 vaccine had something to do with it. A healthy young woman with no family history of misscarriages lost her baby right after the vaccine…but I am just holding on to God’s promise that all things work for the good of those who love the Lord.

I had the Swine Flu back in early September….high fever, cough, aches, vomiting…etc. It was horrible. A week later, I miscarried (I was 7 weeks). Not sure if it was the flu, or was destined to happen….but I’d never miscarried before. Now, we are pregnant again….and I’m not nearly as worried because I’ve already had H1N1.
It’s terrible.

If you look at the pandemic of 1977, when H1N1 or Swine Flu re-emerged after a 20 year absence, there is no shift in age-related mortality pattern. The 1977 “pandemic” is, of course, not considered a true pandemic by experts today, for reasons that are not entierely consistent. It certainly was an antigenic shift and not an antigenic drift. As far as I have been able to follow the current events, the most significant factor seems to have been that most people, who were severely affected, were people with other medical conditions.

My brother got infected with H1N1 or Swine Flu in Mexico. He got a mild fever and luckily he did not die.

One of my sisters got infected with H1N1 or more commonly known as Swine Flu. Fortunately, she did not have very high fever and she was able to recover fast .

One thing to consider to everyone who miscarries shortly after getting the H1N1 vaccine, is that now when you get pregnant the second time, you already have the vaccine in your body and you don’t need to worry about the effect getting the shot while you are pregnant may have on your next baby. I was worried about getting the H1N1 during my first trimester (and even my second because there was little testing done) and then I found out at 11 weeks that my baby had died at 8 weeks. When I found this out, even though I wasn’t pregnant with a live baby anymore, I asked the Dr. for the shot and received the shot. Now when I get pregnant a second time (hopefully soon) I won’t be worrying about the effect of the H1N1 on this baby. I like to think these things sometimes happen for a reason….
