    I was called about it last Wednesday by the hospital, Vaccination Centre then called me Friday, appointment booked for Sunday morning. I'm not in Dublin if it makes a difference.

    To those of you who have gotten the vaccine, how long from when you registered until you got a call? I registered last week with Holles St via email and anxious to get it before I chicken out of it.

    Butting in from the Nov thread - I registered my interest on the Tuesday and got a call that Friday. I was getting disheartened hearing friends get calls within a matter of hours but they must be swamped.

    I’m undecided whether to get the vaccine or not. I’m almost 20 weeks and my 2 year old had a reaction to all his immunisations, he ended up in either hospital or out of hours care due to reactions and for any more he needs eg jabs when he is of school age, he has to get them in the hospital so that he can be monitored. I’m relatively healthy, I’ve been working from home since March last year, and besides seeing my parents (that are fully vaccinated) and the weekly shop, I’m pretty much a hermit at this point! I understand the risks of not getting vaccinated but I’m worried this baby could have a reaction as well.

    Thanks for the replies. I had thought the hospital would call us and hadn't realised they had started vaccinating patients until a friend mentioned it. I can imagine the HSE cyber problems are causing a lot of issues.

    I'm getting my info from Instagram and Twitter, which isn't exactly the fairest way of broadcasting if you don't use social media! Recommend following your maternity hospital though, plenty of info out of Rotunda and Holles St on there.

    It really is a decision you can only make and what you feel is best! My reasoning was everything’s opening up and I wanted to be able to go and meet friends and go out to eat with being terrified. Also I did some reasearch which was pretty reassuring. I was happy enough to get the flu jab and whooping cough. But again it really is a decision only you can make.

    I've heard that Holles St are expecting their next batch of appointments which they can register us for will be next Tuesday so hopefully we'll hear something then. I talked to them last week and they are just getting batches from the HSE and no control over number / locations but the next batch is looking like Tuesday, but not sure when the actual vaccines will be.

    Week 21 now and finally feeling regular definite flutters! Had my 20 week scan last week and all seemed okay but I need to go back for a rescan next week because baby was too active on the day to get clear views on the heart!

    I know its very early but I'm getting started on decorating the nursery this week! Our tiny box room is good for nothing else anyway so I'm giving it a fresh coat of paint today and I've ordered some cute wallpaper for the feature wall. Baby will be in with us for the first 6 months anyway but this is just a fun little project to keep me busy! Anyone else thinking about nursery decor already?

    I was actually talking to a midwife on the vaccine helpline earlier today with a few questions I had, I asked bout the apps and she say they will be sent out this evening or tomorrow. This was for the coombe.
    She mentioned that all the apps are being done between 8-1230 on wed if that helps

    I'm 20 weeks tomorrow, getting second vaccine dose next week. Have been having minimal movements since 14 weeks (3rd baby) but they've really ramped up this week, almost constant and my husband felt a big one a few days ago, mad to be at this stage so early!

    Am good. The placenta is at the front so is am less likely to feel kicks. I sometimes feel flutters ... or wind, who knows !!! Have my 20 week scan on Tuesday. Has felt a very long time coming. Am a bit nervous, first scan husband will be there. Am going to talk to my consultant about COVID, not vaccinated yet.

    I'd anterior placenta on my last and didn't feel kicks until around 19 weeks and then it was vague flutters really. This time I've been feeling kicks from 15 weeks. I actually think in the end the anterior placenta is a blessing as you're a but cushioned when trying to get to sleep but baby is acting like they're at a disco!

    How is everyone doing ? Am 24 weeks tomorrow and feeling okay. Have bad sciatica pain a couple of weeks ago but all good now. Used a hot water bottle which was a lifesaver. Can feel some kicks but not a huge amount as placenta at the front. Got my piizer COVID vaccine last Friday, just had a sore arm for 1 day and that was it. Glad I got it.

    You should try a support belt, osteopath and a deep tissue massage for the sciatica, some good yoga/pilates stretches help too.
