Babies born to mothers who contracted the swine flu virus faced a much greater risk of being stillborn, according to a new study.
Baby deaths among women infected with the 2009 strain of the virus were five times higher than normal.
There was also a greater risk of premature births when compared to mothers who had not caught the virus
The study was carried out by the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit at the Oxford University and it examined the cases of every pregnant woman in the UK who was admitted to hospital while suffering from flu.
In 256 mothers infected with the H1N1 flu virus between September 2009 and January 2010, seven of the babies were stillborn and three died shortly after birth.
That is the equivalent of 39 babies in 1,000 dying, before or shortly after birth, compared to 7 in 1,000 in mothers not infected with the virus

Such a choice for pregnant mothers, dont get the swine flu jab, baby could die, get the swine flu jab baby could have narcolepsy, great choice.
Friend (not female or pregnant, obviously) had swine flu jab the other year, arm swelled to 4 times normal size, rushed into hospital with allergic reaction, doctor said another hour and he'd be dead, he wont have anymore jabs

Typical fear mongering by the applicable organizations just in time for flu season.
"Get your flu shot or your baby will be stillborn"
It's alarming that they focus on this link, but ignore the link to various effects of vaccines.
People will be lined up past the door now to get their flu shot thanks to this scare tactic.

Now i don't profess to be all that knowledgeable in vaccines but one thing i do know is that when you are vaccinated, you are actually injected with a small amount of the live strain of the disease your being vaccinated against.
