Anyone had the Covid vaccine while pregnant?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant and I haven't been vaccinated yet.

I'm scared of catching covid, especially as my son goes to a childminder and I'm scared I will catch it through him.

Did anyone of you have the covid vaccine and how far along were you?

How did you cope with the vaccine?

Thanks for any advice x

Yes, had my first jab when I was 7 weeks I think. Moderna. Just had a very sore arm after the first one. Was vv tired for 24 hours after the second.

Please have the jab. There's enough evidence now that it's safe and there's also plenty of evidence that pregnant women who haven't had it are more likely to be seriously unwell.

Forgot to say, baby is now five weeks old, all good with her so far.

I've had both vaccines prior to getting pregnant and will be having my booster at 11+5, I have no concerns over getting it while pregnant.

Had Pfizer jab at 25 and 33 weeks, no after effects apart from a sore arm. My baby is now 13 weeks old and has no issues whatsoever, if anything this was the smoothest pregnancy and new born period out of all 3 of my children (I’m not saying the vaccine improves pregnancy but I’ve personally not had any issues so far!). Obviously my anecdotal evidence isn’t the most reliable, but I also know an unvaccinated lady who caught covid at 22 weeks and spent 4 weeks in a coma. She was expected not to make it through but luckily did and is due to give birth soon, but it’s not a risk I’d recommend anyone take

My daughter had her second when just pregnant and will have her 3rd one soon.
