Please help covid jab advice early pregnancy..driving me mad

[Jaylou7rainbow]

Hi can anyone help me. I am 4 weeks today and 41. Missed my jab previously due to cancellations was due to have it when found out I was pregnant.
I don’t know what to do. I have
Had miscarriages before and scared of adverse reactions or passing anything onto baby or causing any harm. Not any evidence in baby outcomes from covid vaccinated Mum’s.
Two of my friends pregnant refusing to have it but terrified I will get it and then I have my other two children to consider. Booked three holidays too so can’t shield!! I’m in such a state over it. Gp can’t advise just said read website x

There are no reported links between the vaccine and miscarriage. More than 100,000 pregnant women in the US have had it and been fine and no reported cases in the UK so far.

The risks of COVID to the mother in the third trimester are horrendous. It's worth getting the vaccine.

When I went for mine (Pfizer) the nurse told me there was a small risk of miscarriage in the first trimester and said that if I was pregnant they would recommend waiting till 12 weeks and then having it. (And having both jabs within second trimester)

I received my first Pfizer dose under 4 weeks pregnant (had just found out then) and nobody advised me not to have it. I wanted to go ahead with it and glad that I did. There's no research proving that it has any sort of adverse effect on your baby. I'll be having my second dose as soon as it's offered to me, probably in 1st trimester. Again my Gp has no issues with it.

It's a very personal decision so do your research and decide then. Personally the risks of being ill with covid on me and baby are far too high for me to even consider.

I think the risk is that if you have the vaccine and it causes a fever, you won't be able to regulate your temperature properly? Or so I read somewhere...

Put it this way...if you have it now and you miscarry you will always be thinking "was it the vaccine that caused this?" so just delay it to the 2nd trimester.

I'm booked in for 16 weeks (I changed from 10 weeks). By then you will have seen a healthy baby with heartbeat and the risk of anything going wrong are slim.
