[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thought for OP, getting the vax while pregnant is something you can do to provide a level of COVID protection for (you and) your newborn.  It is the only way a vaccine can currently be transmitted to a child under 12yrs. As someone previously mentioned all decisions are about weighing risk.

If there's any complication post-vax, is it directly caused by the vax? vs.
If you or the baby contract COVID, could it be prevented or less severe/fatal w/the vax?

Then compare the %. [b]You have to decide what's best for you and your baby.[/b]  [/quote]

Odd how we don't say that to people about the decision to bring their baby home by car with or without a car seat.[/quote]

Oversimplification of the issue and you know it. [b]Stop being so obtuse.[/b] COVID-19 disease and its vaccines are new and the stats on pregnant women have only short term context. There are prophylactic measures to help prevent coronavirus infection and lifestyle adjustments to minimize your risk profile for severe disease if infected. When you make the issue seem like it's black or white to vax or not to vax while pregnant, you alienate the hesitant you are trying to convince instead of help.[/quote]

Tell it to ACOG and the MFMs, who unequivocally recommend that pregnant women get vaccinated.[/quote]
