Covid vacc whilst pregnant

[Amichelle84]

I've just found out I am pregnant and have my covid vacc coming up this weekend (I have underlying health issues).

Just wondering if any pregnant ladies have had their vaccination.

I was under the impression that pregnant women can't have the vaccine as there isn't enough research into the effects of the vaccinations in pregnant women. Could be wrong though.

@Amichelle84 I've just read this

www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-vaccination-women-of-childbearing-age-currently-pregnant-planning-a-pregnancy-or-breastfeeding/covid-19-vaccination-a-guide-for-women-of-childbearing-age-pregnant-planning-a-pregnancy-or-breastfeeding

There is another thread on this if you have a look for it. Mainly health workers at high risk.
Many say the pros outweigh the cons for the very high risk. Discuss it with a doctor/nurse but the decision is yours.

I will not be getting one but I'm low risk anyway.

Thank you for linking that, I read ot after the receptionist cancelled it. I called back and asked to speak to a GP tomorrow to discuss further. At the moment I feel it is more important for me to get the vaccine.

there's some good info on the other thread. you are automatically higher risk with covid when pregnant so a lot of peoples doctors are advising to go ahead with the vaccine.

Thank you. I've gone over to the other thread.
