Gynac told me to come for the tetanus shot next visit and i just nodded but didnt ask why. Now im curious what its actually for and why its a must during pregnancy. anyone knows the reason behind it?
I got mine recently and was nervous but it was just a quick jab, arm felt a bit sore after. Sister at the clinic said its to protect baby from infection at birth. Felt reassured once I understood why.
My doc explained the tetanus shot protects both mom and baby, especially the baby from tetanus around the time of birth and cord cutting. The antibodies pass to baby too. Its a standard part of antenatal care here, usually given as TT or Tdap. Pretty important one.
Beta its for protecting u and ur baby from tetanus, a serious infection. Health workers here always give it, very normal and needed. Just take it on the date doctor tells, nothing to fear.
Its given to keep u and baby safe from tetanus during delivery. I got it in both pregnancies, usually two doses or a booster depending on ur history. Totally routine, dont skip it. Doc will schedule it for u.
