You don't know if your baby is "fine." The brain doesn't fully develop until the age of 25. When your baby is 25 then you will be able to say he is "fine."
Oh, puhleese! Debbie dark cloud raises her ugly head. Why do this? It's just mean and hateful.
It's not mean or hateful. It's realistic. And the pp immediately above is correct---the best way to avoid getting Covid is to curtail your social life.

If I were in the third trimester I'd get it ASAP.
It’s minimal protection and only a few weeks. Don’t fool yourself into thinking baby is protected until 6 months. The world has gone back to normal so to protect your child you need to curtail your social life. I did that when I was pregnant with my second during COVID and post-birth. I have a ton of pregnant friends who are flying across the country for weddings and reunions and they are getting COVID. I feel bad for them, but I don’t understand why they thought their decisions didn’t carry risk.

Don't forget to get a flu shot, too!!

I am 32 weeks and got very wishy washy info from my OB. Her response was that the CDC and ACOG had not provided guidance on the new vaccine for pregnant women so they were awaiting guidance, but nothing was preventing me from getting it if I wanted to....
Also curious what others have done.
I am 3x vaxed already and had a terrible time with each dose (just very sick). None of my shots were while I was pregnant (just breastfeeding) so am a bit nervous.
If I were you I’d stay home for 8 more weeks, if possible. Neither covid nor the shot sound like good ideas.

Risk of covid is greater than risk of vaccine (there's good evidence covid can harm the placenta and lead to clotting issues) so asap.

Got Pfizer last week at 16 weeks after consultation with my OB. No side effects other than sore arm. (I had gotten fever, chills, etc. with my prior Moderna and J&J shots). You should raise your questions/concerns with your OB.

I received the booster + flu shot week at 12 weeks. I have never had any side effects with past vaccines and boosters, but I was exhausted and had some very mild flu like symptoms this time around. I suspect because I did a double dose and my immunity is already down just being pregnant.
I'm very glad I got it done, but would definitely recommend maybe spacing them out!

For perspective, I am pregnant and was thinking of waiting until October as I get toward 20 weeks (I have absolutely no knowledge of any evidence stating when optimal point in pregnancy is to get it)...and then last week I tested positive for COVID for the first time ever since the pandemic began. Now I have to live with the worry that COVID infection while pregnant may affect my fetus.
So my advice, based on my experience this past week, is go get vaccinated NOW.

Has anyone (currently pregnant) gotten the new bivalent covid booster? I’m wondering about side effects and timing. Is there an optimal point in pregnancy to get the booster? What side effects have people experienced?
