[quote=Anonymous]I was vaccinated at 20 weeks (Moderna) and I can’t tell you the relief I experienced following that. I got my second shot at 24 weeks, and experienced very minor symptoms for about twelve hours (no fever, body aches as if I was recovering from the flu). I took Tylenol and worked the day after the shot as usual. My OB refused to recommend one way or the other when I discussed the shot with her prior to vaccination, but was enthusiastic after the fact. When I delivered, the nurses cheered when I told them I had been vaccinated in my second trimester. Initial studies showed that babies of mothers who were exposed to COVID had higher levels of antibodies the earlier the mother contracted the virus. I think this is a good argument for not waiting much longer. You are going to experience significant anxiety about your unvaccinated newborn. Knowing that you protected them by being vaccinated while pregnant is a powerful thing. Breastfeeding helps reinforce this immunity. With the new variants circulating, this has been tremendously reassuring for me. My baby was born at term and perfectly healthy a month ago. We DO know that contracting COVID has poor outcomes for pregnant women and their fetuses.  [/quote]
