Whooping cough jab

Hi. Yesterday I had the jab and it really hurts. Feels like someone's given me a dead arm!!! Has anyone else experienced this? Hurts too much to pick up my 2 yr old. Just checking to see if this is normal. Thanks

Hi, when I had mine my arm hurt for over 2 Wks (sorry to give you bad news) I could also not pick up my son and had a lump come up, I also asked on here and I got the reply that unfortunately it does hurt, if it continues call the doctors. Hope it feel better soon x

Perfectly normal I am afraid, they give it in the arm that you are supposed to lay on so I remember sleeping really poorly for a good few nights. Just think you have done this for the good of your unborn baby to get you through :-) X
