Have any pregnant ladies had the vaccine / will you?

[Jessa89]

I’ve just found out I’m pregnant (4 weeks) and days later I got invited for the vaccine..I’m only 32 and didn’t think I was in a particularly high risk category but do have asthma so that could be why. My doctors didn’t know I was pregnant before sending the invite, I’m really hoping they will still let me have it to be honest due to potential covid risks and pregnancy.

The UK guidance seems vague and I think says if in a high risk category you can have it after discussion with a doctor. Has anyone else been in this situation and did you decide / did they let you go ahead?

@mouldygrapes thank you! Getting mine next week (in Texas) and I’m happy with my decision.

I had to comment to the people saying it’s not that bad to get covid when you’re pregnant. You have no idea! I was hospitalised with it with 4 weeks left to go, I went into labour on the third day in hospital. My husband and kids got it to, my husband couldn’t visit me in hospital he wasn’t there for the baby’s birth and no one could help my husband with the kids because they all had covid! The baby pushing on my lungs caused breathing to be extra strained, covid made it impossible. I will be traumatised for life.

@Hariboqueen1 I’m so sorry to hear this. What a horrible thing for you all to go through. I hope you are all fully recovered.
