Covid Vaccine...

Giiiirl - 🖕fu*k them . You dont have to explain your reasons to anyone.

I’m not and don’t give a crap what anyone thinks. But not one person has shamed me for not getting it. I respect their choice and they need to respect mine. You are the Mother. From here on out everything will be your choice for you and your baby. Don’t be influenced my others bc everyone thinks they know better than you do. So stand your ground on your choice now bc it only gets worse when the baby’s born.

I agree. Too little research. I am glad pregnant women who have gotten it have been fine for the most part but what worries me is the long term effects that no one knows about yet. I am a stay at home mom, my husband works from home and is getting vaccinated so I am extremely low risk of contracting the virus. We rarely go anywhere unless we absolutely have to. Not worth the risk for me at this time. You do what you feel is right and don't let others bring you down.

Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about your choice or second guess yourself, when they’re pregnant they can do whatever they please with their body and baby. I’m 19 weeks and eligible but as of now not getting vaccinated until the baby is born. Will I change my mind if I get more info? Maybe. Will someone who’s entirely uneducated about the situation sway my decision? Hell no. I’m going to talk to my OB when I see him, get his opinion, do my own research and go from there.

I’m not getting it, I’m 4 months. If my doctor tells me or even recommends it WHICH HE HASN’T (read that again) He no longer will be my doctor. Little research done & even recalling on One of them. I recommend to truly do your research, NO ONE BUT YOU has a say on YOUR BODY. Don’t get easily influenced by those around you. Just social distance & don’t take the vaccine.

Don’t feel guilty, it’s a very personal choice. People get so nasty about it and it’s just wrong. I am an RN and 19 weeks pregnant and won’t be getting it. It’s too new and no long term studies are known. For something with a 99%+ survival rate I will take my chances. Life is full of risks, but an experimental vaccine isn’t one I will be taking pregnant. There is too much during pregnancy you can’t eat and can’t do, yet an experimental vaccine “should” be ok. No thanks! Not worth potentially risking mine or my baby’s health, you do you mama!

I’m choosing not to get it simply because I feel there isn’t a ton of research done plus this is our rainbow and took us two years to get here so I’m not taking any unnecessary risks. I work in a small office and am at home part time. I don’t go anywhere super crazy. So I feel fine about passing at this time. I will most likely get it after baby is born though.

It’s your choice just like it was their choice. Further, it’s no one else’s business what you do or do not choose. I’m not getting it, period. There are studies that show bath good things and bad things, and I’m not taking unneeded risks, thank you very much. Try not to worry about it.

I too am not anti vax as my baby will get all of their vaccines as I did when I was young. I did stop getting the flu shot at 7 years old because it made me sick every time I got it. Now as an adult- even before I found out I was pregnant I was against getting the covid vaccine. I have always been nervous about putting weird medications in my body (even antibiotics) out of fear of how my body will react- the new covid 19 vaccine being rushed out the door and given to everyone made me super uneasy. My husband and I are the only people of our friend group who are against getting the vaccine but atleast right now I am using my pregnancy as an excuse not to get it and they understand... Science or not I just don’t see how their won’t be any future side effects and if there isn’t then great! It’s just not for me at this time...My whole family has now gotten it aside from my brother (we are in Ontario and they started vaccinating old to young so we won’t even be eligible for while). They all think I will get the vaccine too so I have that weight on my shoulders.. they are majorly behind on vaccinating our province so there’s a chance it may never be effective here.

I did get the shot however I think honestly no one should tell you what decision to make for yourself. I initially didn’t want to get it either and with time and research felt more comfortable. I’m also in a high risk group for Covid and in my previous pregnancy had slight issues that could put me even at more risk. This is a very personal choice and you should not be ashamed at all. In the meantime do what you can to continue to protect yourself. Continue to follow guidelines that have proven effective like wearing a proper mask, social distancing and limiting exposure when possible.
