I wasn't offered it, and I even asked twice and still didn't get it. Thankfully my little man is here and healthy, but it does happen sadly.

I was terrified with my little one as I booked my appt for it 28 weeks as my gp said I couldn't have it before but got pulled into hospital, was told hospital couldn't do it until the Monday as the people who administer them had gone home. Monday came and was told my gp was wrong and it had to be before 28 weeks so as I was 29 weeks exactly I couldn't have it.

Touch wood she's fine but constantly listening in case she starts developing symptoms xxx

How odd!!! NHS website states you can have it any time between 28 and 38 weeks! Your Gp was right, hospital wrong! Touch woukd your lo will be fine, sure she will be. At least you know the symptoms xx
