Is getting the Tdap vaccination standard procedure? When should you get it? I'm 35w+3d and my doctor hasn't mentioned it?
I got mine at 32 weeks and 5 days. My doctor said anyone who is going to be around the baby constantly needs to have had it within the past 10 Yeats.
my doctor told me today that anytime from now (I'm 27 weeks) until 36 weeks
You don't have to get the tdap, it's voluntary. OB's recommend it in order to protect the baby but the chance of your baby getting sick from you not getting the tdap is very very slim. And your baby will recieve the tdap at their first vaccine appt. I've chosen to not get the tdap especially since my own OB who is pregnant doesn't even get it.
I didn't get mine until my son was born
