Vaccination for Pregnant Woman

We are stuck with whether my wife who is 6 months pregnant should go for the vaccination. Number of factors that we are looking at: - Increasing number of Covid 19 cases in the community. - New rules concerning unvaccinated individuals are getting stricker and who knows when it will expand to hospitals. - Government moving forward with treating the virus as an endemic where we welcome international travellors and allowing our own to travel overseas. - Updated Healthcare Protocols where home recovery will become default once an individual tested positive. Any ladies took the 1st and 2nd dose and had given birth? All good for you and the baby?

I am 27 weeks pregnant now and fully vaccinated. Took my first dose at week 21. Initially I didnt want to get vaccinated because honestly I dont feel assured enough. Who knows maybe 20 years later there will be another research which says actually there are some side effects that will affect my baby? But then the Government announced they are going to let covid patients recover at home.. This means they are going to be all around me and my exposure will increase greatly :( That was the whole turning point for me. Sadly, I felt like we werent considered enough when this decision was made. It was also a dilemma for me but the cases were increasing so rapidly and I was fearful of getting it. I had to re evaluate my risks and protect the little life in me. Hence, I decided to go ahead. 27 weeks currently and my baby is active and healthy. I hope all will be well.. it is a tough decision I know.. jiayou to all.

Thanks for sharing 😊 We decided to go for the vaccination too after seeing the rising cases and change in policies.
