My doc told me to take the TT injection at my last visit and i just nodded without fully asking why. Now curious what it actually protects against. Can someone explain in simple words na?
I just got my first tetanus shot last week and my arm was so sore for two days! Did you guys also get a second dose later in the third trimester, or is just one shot enough?
I know getting injections when you are already feeling overwhelmed can cause so much anxiety. The tetanus shot is actually very crucial because it protects your newborn from lockjaw disease right after birth, which gave me immense peace of mind.
I totally understand being nervous about shots and pain right now, dear. But this injection is a beautiful shield of protection for your sweet little baby against dangerous infections during delivery. You are doing great, just close your eyes and it will be over in a second.
Having gone through a miscarriage before, I was extremely cautious about everything my doctor recommended. Tetanus is very important to prevent any fatal infections during birth, so please make sure you take it on time for your baby's safety.
I got two tetanus shots during my pregnancy as advised by my doctor. In my experience, it's just a routine safety step to protect both mother and baby from infections during delivery, so I didn't worry about it.
I just delivered my baby two months ago and definitely got the tetanus injections. The hospital staff told me it builds immunity in the baby that lasts even after birth, so please don't skip it, it barely hurts for a day.
