Who has gotten the Covid-19 Booster during pregnancy?

Question

Okay so I'm curious to see how your body reacted to the Booster shot while pregnant. What were the symptoms? How did you feel?  How do you feel now afterward? My doctor told me I'm due for mine next month but knowing it's so new my mind goes back and forth on the idea. I was nervous even about taking the vaccine period since it's still apart of the unknown as well.  Just trying to wrap my mind around it. Thank you

Answer

I got j&j back in March and my booster (Pfizer) in November. My doctor really encouraged getting the booster either in my second of third trimester to pass some of the antibodies to baby boy. For my booster the next day I felt achy and tired and had a low grade 99 fever and a sore arm but I took some Tylenol and felt okay. The next day I felt perfectly fine back to normal. I have had no adverse side effects from the booster whatsoever and baby boy had been healthy and very active since!

Answer

I got my first 2 moderna shots before pregnancy and my booster (also moderna) at 17 weeks. Fairly similar reaction to all three but I think the 2nd was the worst and the booster was the the mildest. I had a sore arms, aches, and a slight temp for which I took a Tylenol. I was all good after 36 hours or so. My obgyn highly recommended the booster and I’m glad I got it.

Answer

I got my booster at the end of my 1st trimester. I barely had any symptoms with the first 2 doses but the booster did knock me out (fatigue, achy) for about 36 hrs. Honestly wasn't that bad and I still went to work just fine

Answer

2nd jab at 4 weeks pregnant, booster at 21 weeks. No side effects for either 😊

Answer

I just got my Pfizer booster yesterday, currently 26 weeks 4 days and I’m achy and had a low grade temp..I’ve been laying in bed but hoping it goes away by the end of the day. They say to take Tylenol and drink lots of fluids! Good luck mama!

Answer

I just got my moderna booster the evening of 1/4. I took Tylenol and drank lots of water before and after. Sleeping was rough, as a side sleeper (which we all probably are at this point). And yesterday I had Tylenol in the morning at 1030 and felt achy and meh by 630pm so I took more Tylenol. Stayed super hydrated and I feel great today. My original moderna shots were March and April 2021.

Answer

just so you guys know, the booster is the same concentration/amount as the initial vaccine (assuming you don’t switch brands). They give everyone the same thing no whether your there for your 1st vaccine/ 2nd / or your booster. So your symptoms should be similar to your first shots. My symptoms were aching muscles, sore arm and overall exhaustion/sleepiness.

Answer

I had no 2 doses before pregnancy and then my booster at 23 weeks pregnant. I actually had an achey arm for less time with the booster than the others and felt absolutely fine.

Answer

I got my Pfizer booster at 18 weeks and I had milder symptoms than after my second Moderna shot before I was pregnant.

Answer

I had two Pfizer vaccines pre-pregnancy. I just got my booster about 2 weeks ago, moderna. I also got the flu shot at the same time. The next day I had arm pain in both arms and I got a headache and felt more tired. It could have been booster related, but it could have just been a coincidence. 
If you are a side sleeper i would recommend not getting them the same day. I sleep on my stomach so it was no big deal.
