Covid-19 Vaccine

Wondering if I should take it while pregnant... 12 weeks now. Just want to hear from other pregnant mummies. Will you be taking it, especially this early in pregnancy?

I think depends if your risk is high. For me, I wfh and don't go out so my risk for contracting covid is low. When I do head out for check ups and sometimes to parents house I made sure to wear good mask and sanitize hands. It also helps parents and in laws all vaccinated. Although they say antibodies pass to babies, we don't know how long this antibody last. With the lack of data in long term effects of the vaccine and how it affects children or babies (it's only been a little more than a year? Since they develop this vaccine) I thought it's best not to subject my baby to unknown risks. I'll get my jab after I give birth in Sept. Do weigh your own risk and benefits. If you're subjected to higher risk maybe taking the vaccine is best. But I think if want to take, do it after 1st trimester

5 weeks now. I'm waiting until my second trimester to take, and I can't wait for the 2 months to pass. As the virus is going to be endemic in Singapore, vaccinated people can still pass the virus and there are still unlinked cases in the community, I think the chances of contracting the virus over the next 2 years is higher than being the unfortunate person with bad results from taking the vaccine.

i’m at 12 weeks too and have booked to take vaccine at 15 weeks - spoke to my gynae and as i have sensitive airways, might be worse if i catch covid and cannot breathe properly - means baby also cut off oxygen supply. i read quite a bit of forums as well in US where babies are also born with antibodies if the mother is vaccinated while pregnant. hope this does help alleviate concerns!

Best not to take covid-19 vaccine as it is not really 100% safe and mummies who are breastfeeding your baby please dont take covid-19 vaccine as one of the Taiwan mummy lose her baby during breastfeeding as the Taiwan mom took the covid-19 vaccine at around 3 pm then breastfeed her baby at 4 pm the baby nose start to have blood coming out

As my doctor said, follow your mummy instinct. You may be leaning towards one-side more. Compare the risk, which to you is riskier? To get the vaccine? Or to get covid? FYI, I didn’t because i’m almost due. You have a tougher decision than me… ask your doctor for advise but ultimately, you make the decision.

Took my first jab last week at 32 weeks. The risk of getting a more severe condition of covid is higher for pregnant ladies especially at 3rd trimester. So you have to weigh the risks between the two yourself. If you are confident you and ur family can keep you safe until baby is born, no harm waiting.

I'm currently 15 weeks plus. I'm not taking the vaccine. I don't want to risk it. Initially they said pregnant women cannot be vaccinated. Suddenly can? It's kind of doubtful so best not to risk it.

they only mentioned no evidence it can cause miscarriage. they didn't say it will not cause miscarriage. i wont take the risk.

I just asked my gynae during visit today. He says first trimester don’t take. Personally I will not take It at all. Personal choice.

If I’m in your shoes, I wouldn’t. I will just stay home and take good care not only for myself but my baby ☺️
