Covid booster for pregnant women

Apparently pregnant women will be eligible for their fourth dose. Has anyone had / managed to book? I'm at the start of third trimester, and if possible I'd like to have it before the baby arrives.... as it will likely drop to the bottom of the "to-do" list after baby is here.

I’m in the us rather than uk but had it a month ago, last booster was Halloween last year and I’m well into the third trimester. I had Moderna recently and no side effects except a sore arm. Technically I wasn’t eligible, but there’s plenty of stock here and the nurse did it anyway as pregnant people can argue they’re immunocompromised, although pregnancy isn’t listed as a reason on the official guidance. Feeling very glad to have had it given the upswing in cases here recently. Also antibodies pass to the baby in the third trimester which is why the tetanus jab etc is recommended then. If you can get it, I’d very much recommend.
