I’ve been reading RCOG and the NHS website and they all concur that yes vaccine ‘appears’ fine and to have it when called for it, except if possible request Pfizer/Moderna.
I’m pretty low risk, I wfh and hate shopping so the only time I’m in contact with other people is through DS1s nursery or going out for the day which is almost always outside even pre covid.
I’ve looked at my local trust and they say you can’t request which vaccine you have; reading their info about what venues have each vaccine and I think it’s going to be the AZ one, I’ll call them Monday to find out but I can’t quite describe it, I feel odd about it. I’ve had all other vaccines in my life when advised, even buying extra ones when travelling to far flung places. I think it’s maybe that there’s so much unknown, when this pandemic started I was pregnant with DS1 and the initial advice was ‘it’s probably fine but isolate to be sure’ that changed to ‘isolate from 28 weeks of you can’t social distance at work/whatever because they were seeing more negative outcomes from then on’ now I’m seeing the advice for vaccination as ‘probably fine but we haven’t got much data on it’.
I’ve also seen on here it altering women’s’ cycles; can anyone tell me if I’m being a plonker? Am I turning into a conspiracy theorist (?). Should the RCOG just be trusted explicitly, I can help but think of other times where medicines have negatively impacted the unborn child.
How does the vaccine actually work in the body? A point to note I was also on DVT injections for a while after birth, not so far this pregnancy though.
