I have a doctors appointment tomorrow , should I get the whooping cough vaccine ? I heard its bad to get shots while pregnant but others say its good I dont know what to decide on
I had a minor reaction to the vaccine but it was worth it to know that my child is immune to whooping cough because I got it WHILE pregnant. My arm got a small rash and was sore for about 3 days. If you get it after pregnancy then the baby gets only some immunity and that's only if you breastfeed. My little brother had whooping cough last year and it was so scary to watch him go thru that I'm not even gonna chance my baby getting it
you deff should get it I wouldn't wanna give my baby whopping cough over not wanting to get it. I had mine done at 25w. with no side effects its just like a flu shot. they wouldn't tell you that you need a shot if it wasn't healthy for baby and you.
I got mine while pregnant as well no side effects at all I also made my sons father get it & I made sure his older brothers were up to date with theirs
