37 weeks along tdap?

Question

I'll be 37 weeks along at my next appt and I just realized my doctor still hasn't said anything about the tdap vaccine... is it to late to get to be effective for my baby?

Answer

You getting the vaccine while pregnant doesn't effect your baby it's to protect you from getting it and passing it on to your baby. I got mine the day I was leaving the hospital after having my daughter. You have to ask for it. Then the tdap vaccine will be given to your baby during doctor appointments when they schedule shots.

Answer

I spoke with my doctor about this... she said it only takes 1-2 weeks for the antibodies to be passed to the baby. Hopefully this is accurate. Thanks for everyone's input.

Answer

Yes it's too late. You need at least a month before for it to be effective.
