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’m currently in Week 24 and will be taking my 2nd jab in 2 days time. Definitely not an easy decision. My gynae initially said better not to take vaccine but after the rising cases in sg and many restrictions for the unvaccinated, gynae informed me that I can proceed to take it after Week 20. Gynae recommended pfizer too. Also, the turning point for me was the death of famous malaysian singer (google siti sarah if you want more info) due to covid and she was 8th month pregnant then. The baby was saved via csect but she suffered from covid complications and passed on. She was unvaccinated. So much uncertainties, there is no ‘one best’ decision for now but we can make the better one. Both options have pros and cons. Just ensure that your gynae, husband and your stand aligned, trust all will be well. Stay safe mummies!

Thanks for sharing 😊 we are so worried to see the number of positive cases rising in the community too hence we decided to go with the vaccination to reduce the risk.
