Anyone gotten MMR vaccine while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Question

I know I got the vaccine as a kid, but now they are saying if you were born before 1989 that you need another dose. I’m going to ask my doctor at my next appointment, but thought I’d see if any of you ladies got one while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Answer

You can have a blood draw to check your immunity. Your doctor may have already done it if you’ve had blood draw. It’s called a titer test and will give you a range of immunity to certain diseases.

Answer

The MMR isn't given during pregnancy because of the rubella component, but they can give it to you after birth if you're due for one. My OB office checks your rubella titers as a part of the prenatal bloodwork at your first appt, so you could always call and ask if they do that as well and what your results were. If they don't know, you can always get blood drawn to check your immunity if you're worried.

Answer

No vaccines have ever been tested for safety during pregnancy. They legally can’t. Also, the MMR is a live virus vaccine and sheds for up to 6 weeks even if you don’t show any symptoms. It’s all in the insert which most doctors have never actually read so before you get anything during pregnancy ask for the insert, not the one page sheet they will try to hand you but the 2in by 3in little rectangle that folds out to like 2feet by 3feet or so, and read it. Especially the black box warning (section 13.1).

Answer

I’m fairly certain they gave me the vaccine in the hospital after I delivered. Or they gave me something, I consented but I was asleep when it actually happened 😂

Answer

I had it done while breastfeeding.
