[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will never know for 100% sure that anything is 100% safe. The vaccine could make all of us grow an extra eyeball 20 years from now. But a LOT of pregnant women have gotten the vaccine and they have been fine. Remember how fast J&J got paused when a few women got blood clots? If something were happening to fetuses it would be major major news.

The risk of vaccine is not 0. But the risk of getting covid appears significantly higher than the risk of vaccine, and you are not going be able to avoid people forever (unless you have a home birth with a vaccinated midwife?). I hope you can talk to your health care providers about this and come to a good decision. [/quote]

OP here ironically it’s precisely because I trust science and doctors that no way in hell would I do home birth with midwife.

I’ll ask the OB again they mention it in passing but we haven’t fully talked about it.

Here is a bunch of information from ACOG: https://www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/practice-advisory/articles/2020/12/covid-19-vaccination-considerations-for-obstetric-gynecologic-care which points toward the vaccine being safe and the risks of covid outweighing it.

I wouldn't want to be going to a hospital in a few months unvaccinated. There could be other unvaccinated patients and family members around, and you would probably have to take more precautions (a mask during labor sounds miserable). And presumably you are going for regular doctors' appointments, so you are inside with potentially unvaxxed people right now. [/quote]
