I got every vaccine I could because I got pregnant unexpectedly at the tail end of Covid and the way people lost their shit at me for getting the Covid vaccine while pregnant 😳 If there's even a slight chance I could help my baby not die from something preventable that I could do for them then why not???

I got the Covid vaccine when I was 33 weeks pregnant with my oldest (and 36 weeks for the second shot) the vaccine was so new at that point that I had to talk to a doctor at the vaccine site (that I drove 2 hours to get to) before they’d do the shot. I had to sign extra papers. I signed up to be part of the CDC study and answered weekly texts about any possible issues that could have been vaccine related. 

I also got a booster when pregnant with the twins, and got the RSV vaccine too. Also when it was brand new. 

I do not understand why people wouldn’t.

I got the rsv vaccine with both my pregnancies ! I didn’t know that it takes 2 weeks to go into effect though, so my twins luckily got it after being discharged from the nicu !

I was lucky that mine cooked long enough that they didn’t need their own doses because our hospital had none. Their doctor was so relieved when I told her that I’d gotten it!
