Your doctor is really the best person to talk to in order to get factual information. If you need to see a second OB to feel comfortable with it, then don’t be afraid to do that too.

I had my first dose on 1/5 and my second dose on 2/5 (Moderna). I conceived somewhere between 2/3-2/5. I’m 32 weeks today :blush:

Okay, so I was forced through work to get the vaccine while we were trying for our second. I didn’t want to get the vaccine especially since we were trying to conceive. We tried for a little over two years and the vaccine didn’t make it easier. I’m now about 27 weeks pregnant. They said it wasn’t recommended for pregnant women since there is not enough research on it. Now they’re ‘recommending’ it…

I was fully vaccinated March of this year and conceived in May.

You have to gather information, weigh the pros and cons in general and then try to make a decision. It’s definitely not something I would personally do, but it’s just that … a personal choice. Best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

Had first vaccine in early January, found out I was pregnant beginning of February. Caught covid in June (had it also November 2020) and had my second vaccine the beginning of august. My OB really eased my mind and encouraged the vaccine because she has had some moms with very poor outcomes and death while contracting covid during pregnancy.

I got my first while pregnant and my second breastfeeding. Felt good about my decision

I got both doses during my first trimester. I’m 27 weeks now and me and the baby are healthy. (I have been exposed to positive cases and not gotten the virus) My high risk ultrasound (because I’m over 35) was 3 weeks ago and everything was perfect. :heart: this is my rainbow baby!

I got my first vaccine on April 1st. My birth control failed and I got pregnant. Before knowing I was pregnant I got my 2nd dose on April 22nd. I am 21 weeks with a healthy baby. I am 39 so we have done all genetic testing and everything has come back perfect. I would have gotten the vaccine even if I knew I was pregnant at the time. I feel good about having it.

I don’t plan on getting until possibly after birth. My doctor is recommending but there’s not enough research to know what potential issues there could be later in life for babies. Could be none or could be tons, we just don’t know.

But I have the ability to work from home so we have just been limiting our exposure to people.

I’m 32 weeks pregnant and just got my first one on Friday. The only reason I got it is because where I live, we can’t go to restaurants or anything now without being vaccinated. Literally was terrified and left crying about how scary it was. So far everything is good. My doctor said it was my choice and that he doesn’t force anyone to get it. He has a lot of pregnant patients and also works in emergency. He told me he hasn’t seen the vaccine have any bad effects on any pregnant women where we live, so that made me feel a bit more comfortable. He did tell me the whooping cough vaccine was probably more important than me getting the covid vaccine though. But I still wouldn’t have gotten it while pregnant if it wasn’t for all our new restrictions

I got my second dose mid April and found out I was pregnant the first week of June. I wanted to make sure I had it done before getting pregnant, but that’s just me personally. We had been trying for months and had a miscarriage last December. Everything so far has been good and baby is healthy. I’m going on 17 weeks pregnant on Wednesday. :black_heart:

Not too many answering about the bad side effects, of course. I know of 2 ladies who lost their child a few hours after the vaccine. One didn’t know she was pregnant. Baby tested positive for COVID-19 she tested negative. The other, doc told her it was ok to have it… She lost baby. :frowning:

I became pregnant after I had the first dose of Astra Zeneca (unaware) was due for my second dose and then found out I was pregnant the next day😂 had no adverse effects connected with my pregnany whatsoever - doctors and midwives are quite happy I’ve had both jabs!

I was pregnant when I had both of mine ( had mine 4 weeks apart) and I didn’t know I was pregnant. No problems with me at all and we are both well. Due in 10 weeks

My friend had Pfizer whilst pregnant
No problems

I had to go through IVF in order to get pregnant with my son. I have previous lung trauma and have almost died from pneumonia multiple times. It was a hard decision, but I knew if I contracted Covid I would most likely be hospitalized and wouldn’t survive.

I got the vaccine just after my first trimester, baby and I have been healthy the entire time.

Currently 31 weeks and on day 12 recovering from Covid. Even being vaccinated, I was extremely sick. Unless you have a condition otherwise that prevents you from getting vaccinated, I would do it as soon as possible.

My OB said most of her patients were avoiding getting the vaccine, and some were forced to deliver early because of being hospitalized on a ventilator.

I recently got the first shot of Moderna at 34 weeks pregnant. My second shot is due a couple days before I am to be induced. I was very torn on whether to wait until I had my baby to be vaccinated or to do it now and hope it will benefit both of us. But with how bad things are getting now, I decided to go ahead and get it! I have had no weird side affects and my baby girl is still doing great! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Was vaccinated at 30 weeks pregnant back in January. I spoke with my OB dr and weighed the risks both ways. I was at risk since I’m a healthcare worker. She also had some preliminary early study evidence at the time also of positive outcomes. I was worried about the high risk of covid and pregnancy and wanted to make sure I’m still here for my 2 year old that was already here.

Now, My healthy baby girl is 5 months old now!

Please check out Dr Marta Perez on YouTube! She is an OBGYN that breaks down the info on the vaccine and info on COVID. It’s wonderful information.

I chose to not get it after one doctor told me “you’re pregnant don’t get it” and the other doctor told me “you’re pregnant it will be fine”. I didn’t trust it since they couldn’t agree on the vaccine. I rather not risk it :upside_down_face:

I got mine at 12 weeks pregnant (currently 20 weeks). The only side effect I had was an extremely sore arm (like I couldn’t even lift it…but better then getting COVID). My doctor told me if I got COVID while pregnant it would more than likely require hospitalization (I had previously gotten influenza A when I was pregnant with my daughter and I was seriously ill) and I may not come out of it or would at least have severe issues post COVID.

Talk to your doctor for sure. I know there has been research done on the pregnant population, which doesn’t happen often for obvious reasons. I got the Pfiezer which was just FDA approved (the only one I believe). I was greatly exposed to a positive COVID case (unbeknownst to me obviously and likely the delta variant since it was from a 1 year old) and, luckily, the vaccine seems to have done it’s job and I did not contract it.

Good luck with making your decision!

I waited until after I gave birth to get it. I got my second shot in June and have been fine. I wasn’t going to risk my baby to get a vaccine. There’s not enough study on pregnant women and the vaccine

I got my first dose in January of this year. Then in February I found out I was pregnant. When my second dose was due (I got moderna) I decided to opt out of it since I really couldn’t find any information on the pros or cons during pregnancy. It is obviously a new vaccine so there aren’t any studies. I did not find any information stating that it could or would potentially be harmful to the baby but I couldn’t find any information stating it would be beneficial either. So I am going to wait to give birth and after I stop breastfeeding, I will get my second dose but at this point I think I have to get the whole series again.

Sonya Hailey with my first baby I got the tdap and the flu shot. I also got a shot because of being rh negative and had an antibiotic iv before I gave birth and my little girl is healthy.

It seems like it helps women get pregnant! Trust your gut. I’m T1D and can’t get pregnant. But I got the vaccine and I ended up in the ER. I got my vaccine in Feb and I miscarried Feb 13. The vaccine didn’t cause it. But you have to trust yourself on this.

Okay so people can still get pregnant. Have any of these babies been born yet? Have the babies been born healthy and on time? The scary part is not knowing. People usually don’t get vaccines while pregnant since you really aren’t to take any medicine either.

I was filly vaccinated by mid April, and got pregnant 1 month later. Almost 17 weeks along now, and things seem well :crossed_fingers: knowing that there’s a ton of data out there showing pregnant women sick with covid often miscarry or have preterm birth, and I was high risk to begin with, I’m so grateful I got the shot. I got Pfizer if that helps at all.

I was vaccinated at 20 and 23 weeks. It was recommended by my specialist and my OB since I was considered high risk and I work in direct care of patients at a hospital. I felt sluggish and had a sore arm. Other wise I had a normal pregnancy, labor and delivery and a healthy baby who is now 8 weeks.

I received my first dose of Pfizer at 35 weeks. The only side effect I experienced was a sore arm. I will receive my next dose in about 2 weeks. It was recommended by my OBGYN due to being a high risk pregnancy and I was told if I were to get covid while pregnant there were alot of risks. I was also told by getting the vaccine the baby could get the antibodies. I am monitored by my doctor twice a week. My baby looks healthy and on track.
