When do you get tdap vaccine during pregnancy?

Question

My doctor mentioned a TDAP vaccine during pregnancy, and I'm not sure when it's supposed to be given. At what stage or week of pregnancy is the TDAP vaccine usually recommended?

Amisha Nanavati · Answer

Usually between 27 to 36 weeks. I got mine done in my 28th week at my clinic. Just ask your doc on your next appointment, they track the schedule.

My hospital gave me a complete pregnancy booklet with all vaccine schedules. Tdap is done in the third trimester, mostly around 28 weeks. Do check with your hospital desk, they will guide u clearly.

I remember getting my Tdap shot in my late pregnancy, maybe 29th week. It was just a small prick, way easier than my C-sec recovery haha! Don't worry about it, it is very standard.

I always feel we should not take any advice online for vaccines. Better to check directly with your gynac as every pregnancy is different. They will tell u the exact week you need it.

Natasha Murthy · Answer

Omg I was so scared of taking any vaccine while pregnant! But it's super normal, got mine in the 3rd trimester. No pain or issues at all, u will do great!

Haan, standard is around the third trimester, samjho 27th to 36th week ke beech me. Mujhe to doc ne 28th week ke aas paas bol diya tha. Apne gynac se pucho na next visit pe!

Richa Nanda · Answer

I am currently in my 20th week and my doctor mentioned we will do this in the third trimester. Did anyone else feel really nervous about the injection pain? Hope it doesn't hurt too much.

Jagruthi Mahajan · Answer

Usually given in the late pregnancy months. It is very safe for the baby. Take care and stay happy!

Meena Naik · Answer

Actually my doctor explained this so well. It is best given between 27 and 36 weeks because the antibodies pass to the baby before birth. I got it done at exactly 28 weeks, so definitely ask your gynac about the timing.

Gomti Sisodiya · Answer

Beta, usually doctors suggest it during the late second or early third trimester. I had it around my 7th month. Just carry your vaccine card on your next visit and ask the clinic staff.

Kanika Das · Answer

Mere doctor ne mujhe 7th month me lagaya tha ye. Sab log bolte hain baby ki safety ke liye zaroori hai. Aap bhi apne hospital me ek baar puch lo, sab theek hoga.

Ilakiya Raju · Answer

Honestly I kept googling this day and night! I was so anxious about the right week but my gynac said 28-32 weeks is ideal. Pls dont stress, your doctor has a proper chart for this.

Devi Raju · Answer

I was reading about this recently, honestly still a bit shy to ask my doc. But from what I know, it is mostly given in the third trimester. Hope everything goes well for u.

Namita Kulkarni · Answer

I had mine around the 30th week. It helps protect the little one after birth, which is amazing. Had a wonderful normal delivery later, so dont worry, just go with the flow!

Riddhi Gupta · Answer

Got mine in the third trimester. It is actually great because those antibodies pass on and help protect the baby when you breastfeed initially. Such a blessing, discuss the date with your doc.
