Would you have a fourth Covid jab if pregnant?

[roarfeckingroarr]

Just that really. I've had my first three without worrying but I wasn't pregnant then. I'm 34, usually slim, no health conditions.

I don't want the fourth but can't really articulate why not. I think it's partly because I don't feel scared of Covid at all and partly because I don't want to take any risks with pregnancy and a fairly new drug.

(Plus as stated in previous posts, covid infection poses known risks to unborn babies, whereas there is not evidence that the vaccine does)

I did, 4 weeks ago x

No, but I didn't have any vaccines in pregnancy nor since.

Wouldn't have one let alone four, pregnant or not,

Definitely not, they weren't even tested to see are they safe in pregnancy. There long term safety data isn't even known. Young healthy people are having awful side effects due to the vaccine they got so they could go on holidays or go to a pub, ridiculous when most people wouldn't of even been effected by covid

Nonsense.

Surely all of you antivaxxers can stop spreading your nonsense now. Vaccines aren’t mandatory. Don’t have one. Believe what you want. But don’t try and force others into believing your lies

When were they tested on pregnant women?

No i wouldnt. But then i havent had any of them and ive not been pregnant for over a decade.

I would not. Does not matter whether I am pregnant or not.

@Floomobal which lies am I spreading? Also you can't just label someone an antivaxer because they don't advise someone to take an experimental vaccine which wasn't tested on pregnant women to take?
Also vaccines were mandatory to enter bars cafes restaurants etc and mandatory to use air travel and entry into other countries? So that was the reason most people got the covid vaccines when covid itself wasn't actually a risk to them

Never been jabbed and never will be jabbed.

Of course. Third trimester puts you at high risk of admission/ITU/death if you get covid. Mad not to.

😂

I agree with you. Unfortunately on here they like to remove comments or even ban posters that are not pro jabs.

You and your baby are at higher risk from COVID than flu, so it is irrational to have the flu vaccine and not the COVID one.

It is not because people are not 'pro-jabs' it is because the statements about side effects are lies.

I honestly don't know what to do about getting the booster. I had all three vaccines when I was invited to have them so I don't object to getting them in general.

I found out I was pregnant last week and caught Covid for the first time about three weeks ago now. I was ill with flu like symptoms for a few days which wasn't fun but on the whole felt my body coped with it quite well. I have a booster invite but I don't know if I'll actually get it or not, especially as I probably have antibodies now.

These jabs were not hurried out.

The technology behind them has been in development for around 10 years. All they had to do was plug in the genetic code for covid. The rest was already there. We were lucky really. Had this pandemic happened even a year earlier the vaccines wouldn't have been ready.

The jabs have now been around for a few years and millions of people have had them.

It's ethically hard to test impact of any medicine on pregnancy. All the can do is observe groups of women who have a medicine while pregnant or who get pregnant shortly after using it.

The covid jab is safe for most women in pregnancy. If you have concerns about your own personal risk profile, speak to your doctor.

Why don't you think the UK medicines authorities are 'unbiased'? What do you think they personally will achieve by getting you to have a vaccine, what do you consider their vested interest to be, other than fulfilling their role to keep as many UK people alive as possible?

I am genuinely curious about this. How do they know the long term effects on the baby though? They cant possibly know.

I didn’t have my booster because I was pregnant. Like you I couldn’t really articulate why I didn’t want it, but I really really didn’t and I was anxious enough as it was. I was more anxious about having the vaccine than I was about catching covid again, as I’d already had it pre vaccines and was fine. It’s a personal decision and it doesn’t make you anti vaccine or stupid if you don’t want it.

Incidentally I then caught covid on a hen do (we all tested and didn’t leave the house we’d rented so fat lot of good that did) at 32 weeks, felt rough for a day as couldn’t take any decent cold meds and that was it. I caught a disgusting cold in my first trimester which was far worse. Went for a 5k run as soon as I was allowed back out. Bonus - my baby didn’t catch it off my husband after he caught it at work when she was four weeks old!

I have had my booster.

To give the other side, I caught covid early in a previous pregnancy despite having been triple jabbed. I had a miscarriage and whilst we can never say why, the date they calculated the baby stopped growing coincided with me being really poorly and unable to breathe.

@Floomobal
Have you actually read this yourself? It clearly states "As these are new vaccines, there are no studies yet on the long-term effects on
babies born to women who had a COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy"
There hasn't been studies either there has been data on women who received the vaccine while pregnant that are been monitored, it is still on clinic trials until 2023. Maybe you need to EDUCATED yourself first
