Anyone who gave birth and got vaccinated for COVID during pregnancy delievered a healthy baby? Please some insight would help. My job is requiring it or im terminated. I am just worried to harm my baby.
If you are not comfortable maybe speak with your doctor and see if you can get a note to hold off. Everyone reacts differently and even if others have no negative effects there is still that small percent, it’s your body and your baby you should be able to make a choice that won’t affect your job.
@iwetmyplants, so she should rather just take something because everyone was ok? Wouldn’t it be better for her to speak to her doctor? With everything else everyone always says it’s best to talk to your doctor but with the vaccine it’s an I’m ok go take it situation? That makes no sense if she’s asking it’s because she is unsure and there should at least be one person that plays devils advocate and suggests to speak to your medical professional.
@latinamomof3, That’s not what you said. Your exact words were “maybe speak with your doctor and see if you can get a note to hold off”. I’m not going back and forth with you. Have a great day.
It is most often that any serious vaccine reactions will happen within the first 90 days of the shot. Pregnant women have been eligible for about 6 months now and no adverse effects have been reported either from the mother or the baby, not even to VAERS. You should consider your risk vs benefit and def talk to your doctor like the comment above mentioned. The risk of getting covid while pregnant is a lot more severe and depending on your work setting they are most likely wanting to create a safer environment. The vaccine does not prevent you from contracting COVID, breakthrough cases are about 0.004% with the new variant. The median age for those who have been fully vaccinated and still passed away is 82 years old with more serious underlying health conditions.
My sister was a surrogate for a couple, both were in the medical field and my sister is as well and she got it while pregnant. I got it as soon as possible and will give birth early Sept. I suggest talking to your doctor. I was all for it but had a few questions and my doctor was great and cleared them up!
@andreapena26 I asked her, I can't remember. She works the next 3 days so might be later today that she answers me. That was one of my questions I asked my doctor, if there was one that was preferred over the other.
