Has anyone had COVID vaccine late 2nd trimester?

Question

I’m really unsure about what to do with the COVID jab... I’m in the UK and initially they were saying pregnant women shouldn’t have it. I have been offered it 3 times, twice by my GP surgery and once by my workplace (NHS) and as soon as I said I was pregnant, they just said to have it when the baby is born. Since then the policy has changed to say you can have it if you want, but you need to discuss the risks and benefits with a doctor first. If a doctor told me to have it I would definitely have it. I just don’t want to be the one to decide. I’m 24 weeks.

Answer

I'm in the US. I got both my doses in the 2nd trimester. 2nd dose was at 23 weeks. 
Both my OB and the high risk maternal fetal medicine doctor who did my anatomy scan highly recommended I get it.  I had a headache and sore arm afterwards and that's it. Baby is measuring on track and moving all over the place. 
It's really a personal decision.  There's a lot of women on here who won't get it, and that's their choice.  I was comfortable with my doctors input and my decision to proceed.

Answer

For me personally I don’t feel as though enough research was done before allowing the public to take not one dose but now up to 3 doses of this vaccine. It’s not FDA approved where most vaccines take at least 2 years to be FDA approved. New studies are finding blood clots to be a common side effect of the vaccine and as I am 23 weeks pregnant I would personally worry about the risks it would cause to my baby not only in the womb but after birth.

Answer

You have to weigh the risks and make the decision.

Answer

I feel the same frustration that you do. I am in the US and am 20 weeks and now eligible to receive the vaccine (recently opened to everyone here). I asked my doctor from the beginning of my pregnancy and he said no, but I have talked to a few other pregnant women whose doctors told them to get it. I asked my dr again recently and he said it is up to me to weigh the risks and decide. I guess the problem is that nobody seems to know what the risks of the vaccine are for pregnant women. We do know the risks of COVID but it is hard to compare that with the unknown. I have heard there are some early cases of women who got the vaccine passing on the antibodies to their babies which seems like a big benefit to getting the vaccine, so I am seriously considering it, but I keep putting off the decision.

Answer

I just got mine last week and going for my second vaccine . Only problem is that you will have a score arm for 2 days but that’s normal . I’m currently 24 wks pregnant.

Answer

I had covid in the first trimester and doing my shots now in the second. It’s worth the risk of the covid shot vs covid again. I was reminded today even though I had it and vaccinated the other strains I could still get and being pregnant more likely to get it again 😭😭

Answer

I talked to my doctor yesterday. At first before i was pregnant i was like this sounds so sketchy ill let a ton of ppl get it before i get it. Then i got pregnant and after already having a miscarriage i wasnt going to risk it but after my conversation yestersay with my doctor im going to get when i can. Hes right you have a huge risk if having some type of severe negative reaction if you catch covid pregnant but the risk if anything bad happening with the shot are so slim, especially the blood clots because just being pregnant we are at increase risk of getting blood clots. Also my sister in laws brother works for the canadian infectious disease and he works hands on with covid patients and he said when its available go get it! So im gonna do it
