Opinions on the D-tap shot during pregnancy?

Question

Did you or did you not get it during pregnancy? Reasons for not getting it, or reasons for?  And anyone that did get it, did you have a reaction?

Answer

I’m getting the TDap and making my SO do it, too. Whooping cough can be fatal for infants, and id rather not risk it. I’ll protect myself if it means I can protect my child.

Answer

I do not get TDAP because there is no testing saying what happens to baby. I am also completely unvaccinated anyways. We don’t do the flu shot either.

Answer

There is no law saying that you are forced to get any shot during pregnancy.  It has never been tested on pregnant women to see how it effects the mom and baby. Just be informed and make the right decision for you but I will never have a vaccine while pregnant.

Answer

You get it during pregnancy in order to pass some antibodies to your baby in utero. The baby doesn't start receiving this vaccine until 2 months of age. So, if you don't receive it during pregnancy it leaves your baby completely unprotected for two months. Pertussis is deadly to infants and is almost always passed from someone in the household (parents, siblings, daycare, grandparents) not to mention anyone they come into contact with outside of the home (grocery store, doctor's appointments).
