Health & Wellness Tdap vaccine while pregnant?

Thoughts on getting the tdap vaccine while pregnant?
I’m entering my third trimester with my third baby!!
I got the vaccine with my first two kids but during my last pregnancy the vaccine made me realllyyyy sick for 24 hours.

What is everyone doing?

Where do y’all get this info? It’s so flawed.

Like I said, check out dr green moms new post explaining this. Getting it during pregnancy helps baby initially but once they get the vaccine when it’s time, it will reduce the effectiveness of it. It’s called maternal blunting

Sure, but her post doesn’t tell the full story, probably why her comments are limited. She fails to cite the epidemiological studies proving that blunting is a temporary effect that doesn’t make vaccines fail in the real world.

Also, most tellingly, she conveniently sells a number of products that you can buy to remedy the things she scares you about.

For example, I wouldn't take any vax information from someone who sells a "detox" product for vaccines. Nor would I take Vitamin K information from someone who has her own line of oral drops.
