Tdap while pregnant?! Idk I’m still debating on getting it ugh.

Question

There just isn’t great information out there about it during pregnancy and with my first son I got it before I left the hospital. I just need some opinions please no bashing.

Answer

If you get it while you're pregnant some of the immunity can transfer to baby. I call it a win win because you can't convince everyone you know to get the shot. Pertussis is not something I want my baby having and I'll be doing whatever I can to limit his chances of getting it.

Answer

Get it at least before leaving the hospital. Pertussis is no joke and can kill your child. My immediate family will all be getting the tdap and flu shot before baby is born, since winter is prime time for getting pertussis and the flu.

Answer

I got it right before I left the hospital cause I waited too long to get it when I was pregnant. I would def get it though. Especially since we are having babies in the middle of high peaked sick season. Whopping cough is no joke for a baby.

Answer

They have never tested the effects of this shot on pregnant women. There are babies who have passed because of this shot, and the effectiveness is not known

Answer

I will be getting it @ week 28. the flu shot as well.

Answer

This is from the CDC. You should get it between 27-36 weeks so make sure to talk to your OB if you decide to do it. It is completely safe and recommended for every pregnancy. I will be getting it at my next appointment to protect the baby from whooping cough which can turn into pneumonia.

Answer

My whole family is getting tdap before babe is born. With my oldest I got it after I gave birth but before I left the hospital. They didn’t offer it during pregnancy!

Answer

I had mine done while pregnant with my first. No side effects or complications here.

Answer

Please please do not!!! Vaccines have not been tested on pregnant women because it is considered in humane to do so!!!

Answer

My midwife said they will offer It at my 28 week appointment... she also explained how it will pass benefits on to the baby.
