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 got mine at week 13 and 17. Was waiting till second trimester to get the vaccines. This was recommended by my obgyn. I’m currently at 26 weeks and all scans are looking good. There are studies showing that pregnant people can pass the antibodies to their babies if vaccinated while pregnant. These antibodies will stay within the baby for some time. So its a pretty clear choice for me. Protect baby, protect myself (since pregnant people are particularly vulnerable to covid) and have a peace of mind.
