If you were pregnant with no underlying health conditions would you get the vaccine?

Please no one bite my head off I feel so so conflicted like I can't do right for doing wrong. I'm 6 months pregnant with a 1 year old. Not overweight, no underlying issues. I am just so unsure of what to do I will admit I am bad for following social media of real people that are having terrifying side affects from the vaccine but equally I know the effects of covid in third trimester can be fatal same as the vaccine in a small percentage.
Please please no one have a go at me I am so stressed I just want to do the right thing for my babies.
Yes or no?

If you’re hesitant, then I’d have thought you’d need to consider your risk of catching covid.

I’m not hesitant, and am a primary school teacher who is 37 weeks pregnant, working full time in a classroom full of eight year olds who regularly sneeze/cough/hug me. The one Velux window in the room locks automatically when there is moisture in the air. I’m due my second dose tomorrow, and would absolutely make the same decision again to go ahead with the jab.

Well there were a number of stillbirths associated with a specific covid complication in the placenta here in Ireland. So I would get it yes.
