My gynac told me to take it in my second trimester and I just said haan ok, but later I started wondering why exactly its given. MIL also asked me kyu lagwaya. Can someone explain what it actually protects against?
I totally understand how painful these injections can feel, but believe me, it is pure love for your little baby. It protects your sweet angel from tetanus right from birth. Keep your heart strong, you are doing amazing, dear.
Trust me, just get both doses on time. With both my kids, my gynac made sure I got it in the second trimester. It is a standard vaccine to prevent tetanus during childbirth, so don't overthink and just take it.
Actually, it is for tetanus protection. I also got two doses during my pregnancy and it gave me peace of mind. It passes immunity to the baby too, which is so crucial for those initial days.
See, it's not optional at all. This injection protects both u and the baby from dangerous tetanus infection during delivery time. Just get it done when your gynac says, simple as that.
It is actually very important, especially during delivery time. When I had my C-section, there were so many surgical instruments used. This shot kept me and my baby safe from any infection, so pls don't skip it.
