[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no data showing risks to fetuses from the vaccine, but there are data showing that COVID can lead to preterm birth. I know you think your risk is low, but delta is much more communicable and will become more widespread by the fall. FWIW, I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant and got the vaccine when I was 8 and 12 weeks pregnant, so I have taken my own advice. [/quote]

OP here thank you everyone for the rational responses and experiences. This post hits on something yes now I feel comfortable because here and surrounding towns it’s been no transmission but at the back of my mind with delta and people socializing and no masks, I know the number will go up.

I think you will feel better once you do it! I was never that worried about COVID until I got pregnant because I have no risk factors (of course we quarantined, masked, etc. - I just didn't spend a lot of time worrying). Nonetheless, I felt a lot safer after my second shot. I also have two unvaccinated kids (3 and 5) and they go to school, so I knew they were always going to be a potential vector for infection. You are not going to find 100% certainty about any decision, but if you weigh the relative risks and benefits I think you will find vaccination seems like the better choice. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy![/quote]
