First pregnancy here and i keep hearing about some injections that have to be taken during these months. Want to be prepared before my next appointment. Can someone tell which ones are needed?
Usually, they give Tetanus (Tdap) and the seasonal flu shot. Since I had thyroid, I was always visiting my doctor regularly anyway, so they tracked and gave me all vaccines on time during my visits.
Pregnancy vaccines like Tdap and flu shots are very important to protect the baby, but because I had some complications, I strictly followed my doctors specific schedule. Pls do not take any vaccine without checking with your gynecologist first.
Yes, the main ones are the Tetanus vaccine and the flu shot, usually given in the second and third trimesters. Just ask your doctors receptionist for a vaccination chart on your next visit, they will mark the exact weeks for u.
I only remember getting the Tetanus shots and a flu vaccine during my second trimester because my gynac recommended them. Every doctor has a slightly different schedule, so its best to ask your clinic for your card.
Oh my God, I was so scared of getting shots during pregnancy and kept researching online if they are safe! But they are totally safe and protect your baby. Just write down all your doubts and ask your doctor to reassure u, it will make u feel so much better.
