I had the DTAP shot yesterday, I was told it is now recommended if you're planning to be pregnant or around small children and they told me I should have had it before I had T! I switched providers midway through my pregnancy with her, so I guess it fell through the cracks.
Anyway, the point being, OMG it HURTS!! I know its the tetanus part that hurts, but it really hurts, I can barely lift my arm and I don't think I'm a wuss about pain, I've had surgeries, broken bones and a natural birth! No wonder LO's are so cranky after shots. I have a low grade fever too and just generally feel like crap. Makes me think she's been a super trooper with all the shots she's had. Whine over.

This, exactly. I don't remember feeling anything the day after birth. :-)
