[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it. I'm about as pregnant as you are. I chose to get vaccinated right after I found out I was pregnant (which was as soon as the vaccine was available to me). Baby is perfectly healthy. I'm protected from covid. There is no reason to believe there will ever be any adverse reaction to the vaccine. Pregnant women and babies are vaccinated for other things all the time. And pregnant women are more at risk of covid. For me, it was a pretty easy decision once I thought all these things through. Have you talked to your doctor?

One thing to consider is that your medical appointments are going to become more frequent, which means more risk of exposure. You cant avoid indoor outings for the length of your pregnancy/delivery.[/quote]

+1 This was my experience too (currently 19 weeks pregnant, vaccinated at 6 weeks; healthy pregnancy).  I called my doctor as soon as a spot for vaccination opened up and they strongly recommended it, which helped me feel more comfortable when there is so much unknown.  I would get the vaccine because while I do understand your concerns since of course there are no 100% guarantees of anything, keep in mind that the only way you can avoid getting COVID (which you acknowledge is quite scary!) is by being vaccinated.  It's great you're able to continue social distancing but as PP points out, you have to go to the doctor a lot while pregnant, and you have to go to the hospital to deliver.  Maybe after the anatomy scan would be a good time to schedule?  After all, a lot of the large scale development is done by then and you'll have ultrasound confirmation that everything is fine with your new baby.[/quote]
