My friend said she got her tetanus shots at a certain time and im not sure if im on track. Im around 4 months now and dont want to miss the right window. When is it usually given yaar?
Most gynacs schedule the first dose between 20-24 weeks and the second dose 4 weeks later. It's a standard and safe vaccine, so just ask your doctor at your next scan visit.
Usually you get two doses, starting around the 5th or 6th month. My arm was so sore I couldn't even sleep on that side, as if my baby wasn't already keeping me awake!
I think doctors usually recommend the first tetanus shot in the second trimester. It is safe and protects the baby, so you should definitely ask your doctor about the dates.
Having lost a baby before, I was terrified of any medical procedure, but the TT injection is absolutely vital. Doctors usually give it between 20 to 28 weeks, so please follow your doctor's schedule carefully.
I panicked when my doctor scheduled it because I hate injections, but it's totally standard. Usually, the first dose is given in the second trimester, around 20-24 weeks.
