Did anyone get the Tdap shot around 34 weeks?

Question

I was reading up on the Tdap vaccine and read it is recommended at 28-36 weeks but should be given closer to the 28 week range. My doctor never mentioned this to me and I just had my 32 week appointment yesterday. I see her in 2 weeks when I will be 34 weeks and I plan to ask for it then but am a little worried as to why it’s recommended to be given earlier than that? Is it just not as effective the farther along you are?

Answer

It just gives it time to build up immunities To give to baby and also Incase someone delivers early they have it in time before the person goes into labor

Answer

It’s still effective but it gives it a little more time for the antibodies and immunity to build up and pass to baby, but it will do that regardless.

Answer

What is tdap? I’m in the uk and never heard of it ?

Answer

I got it at 30 weeks

Answer

I got mine at 28 weeks with both of my children.
Just go in and ask for it. It’s no big deal. My doctor’s office does walk ins for flu shots and TDAP.
Remember to rub it! If you don’t, it’ll be sore for forever. You gotta kind of break up the vaccine so it doesn’t sit in that one spot. I do it whenever my kid(s) get their vaccines too. Warm baths and rub the soreness out

Answer

Answer

You could still be shedding at delivery and actually pass it on to your baby having it close to delivery.
