Is it strange my OB never mentioned tdap / dtap vaccine to me?
One of my friends that’s going to same OB said he gave it to her during both Singleton pregnancies. Is it a twin thing maybe or did he just forget? It’s probably too late for me now since I’m only a few days from delivery ...not sure I would have taken it either but wondering if you twin moms had this happen
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
I pray to God that he gives me twins in my next pregnancy how to make twins do I have to take an supplement pills
I am so stressed right now!!! My OB doesn’t want to take me anymore because I am too “high risk” so I got a new one they don’t want to see me either. They referred me to a group one hour way from my house. But there is only one high risk dr and he doesn’t know if he could see me. I feel like I should not see any at this point.
my ob prescribe me this for a yeast infection

I got the TDAP shot. They started asking me about it when I hit 28 Weeks. But I got it at my 31 week appt with the flu shot.

It’s not a new recommendation to do it in pregnancy, but just based on reading threads here it seems like not every office is following the guidelines.
My office gave it to me around 27 weeks.

I am going to call office and ask Tomorrow, I’ve been reading on here that I need to get baby’s dad and all close relatives vaccinated as well??? Ahhh so much information and things I never even though about

My office does it around 32 weeks for singletons but my OB said with twins usually coming early it’s good to get it at 30. It should just be done in the later weeks. What week are you?
I had mine done at my last appointment.

I’ll be 37 tomorrow and delivering next Wednesday at 38! My doctor is on vacation this week... I checked with two of my cousins that said they didn’t get tdap during pregnancy. Just thought it was weird that my OB gave it to my friend but didn’t even mention it to me. It takes 2 weeks to start building immunity so it’s too late for me now I think... wondering if anyone else skipped it . Im thinking if I call office and talk to nurses they won’t give me correct info so I’ll just go with it. No one is touching babies for first few weeks anyways. I literally want to put “look but don’t touch” stickers on them. I was planning on going slow with vaccines on babies too

We asked family to get the tDap, but many of them were already in the window for their boosters, since it’s typically lumped in with the tetanus shot. My husband, father in law, mother, and brother were all good. The just had to call their doctors and check their dates.

Jendz are you and your family in the USA? I am ... wondering if maybe it’s something done in some countries but not here?
deleted-user·
Yup. In the US.
I think the recommendation may have started elsewhere before coming to the US, though.

The tdap is supposed to be recommended and given at 28 weeks of pregnancy.. I've been offered it every pregnancy at 28 weeks and I've recieved them that same day.. maybe he did forget.. sometimes they get too caught up in other stuff and forget.. it should be given at least 4 weeks before birth as it can lay in your throat asymptomatic for that long.. and it takes a few weeks to transfer the antibodies to baby..

Also that the vaccine guideline in the US..

It’s definitely too late for me now ... in less then 7 days I’ll be holding my munchkins! Plus the last thing I want right now is to get sick from a vaccine right before the delivery. I will make sure to give them that one on time which I was planning on anyways. They get the first dtap at 2 months. I live in south Florida so our winter ❄️ is not really winter .... hoping that helps with the whooping cough rates. I looked it up and looks like Colorado and California have the highest rates. We do have plenty of anti-vaxers here , but probably not as many as in those two states

That’s strange. I wish my doctor would forget. I am not getting it. Most doctors make it sound like it’s mandatory but it isn’t.

I did more research on it... cdc only changed Recomendation a few years ago to “dtap every pregnancy “ , before it was only recomended during pregnancy for high risk populations or for moms that never had it previously.... hard to know who to trust , especially since fda and cdc are so biased nowadays . Even if I was offered it I would have done my research and I think I would have concluded not to take it during pregnancy.....I’m looking more and more stuff up in medical publications on pubmed now rather than cdc .

Pubmed is an awesome resource. For sure check out Suzanne Humphries on YouTube. Amazing info.

Also Vitamin C had actually been used to cure whooping cough and it’s better for a child to become immune naturally rather than use a synthetic chemical filled vaccine.

I’m definitely pro vaccines, especially for certain diseases but I’ll be taking it slow with my munchkins... will check out that Youtube . Thanks!
