I appreciate this being mentioned.

I was watching a documentary-type show last evening where a woman had a severe reaction to the shot when it was given to her postpartum. I wish I could remember the specifics, but it took dr's forever to figure out what was going on with her and they explained that it's a complication that can occur in women of childbearing years.

I've read a bit (not much and because both daughters are postpartum) and I read both...that's it's recommended then not recommended in childbearing years.

It's something certainly to research further before my daughters consider it, but it's something I might have to consider at my age and being around three very young ones all the time?

I actually did separate the cartilage in my ribcage from bronchitis once and it was excruciating. I would never want to go there again. They were concerned that I'd broken a rib.

I appreciate the information and am now wondering about my possibly needing, and hubby.
