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?

Dear preggy mummies, just take your vaccine. Take it in the hospital would be a wiser choice. I took Pfizer instead of the others as my gynae mentioned about studies done on pregnant woman taking pfizer and reactions are not that severe compared to the other competitors. 1st dose for me were mainly left side headaches (on and off like migraine) for 3 days straight. The 2nd dose, I will say you will feel very sleepy and light headed for the first day. You might think you have fever but you don't. It's the vaccine doing it's thing. The 2nd and 3rd day you may have pain in the underarm (lymph node will be activated on the immunity aspects). It's annoying but it will fade off after 2 to 3 days. This is what happened to me in terms of side effects. By taking the vaccine, it will definitely give you a peace of mind once its done. With the strict regulations now I suggest we preggy woman should just do it and not fear as there are studies on the vaccine even benefits the child when its born. Most of the babies gets the vaccine's antibodies (based on a straits time article I got this info). I hope this helps with most of your concerns on the vaccines. I feel really awful for you preggy peeps who are covid positive. Hang in there. Please take care. My prayers are with you ladies. Stay strong!
