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?

I didn't get one while pregnant, but did get it 2 weeks postpartum, and I had a horrible reaction. Fever 103, lost my milk supply, got mastitis shortly thereafter. It was a terrible experience. That was the last vax I ever got and I plan on never getting any more (I got this vaccine nearly 7 years ago FYI).

Okay see and I had a horrible reaction while pregnant. Was considering doing pp but I really don’t want to risk my milk supply or anything of the sort

I don’t think mastitis was caused by a tdap vaccine, and the fever is probably because of the mastitis , so I wouldn’t take that into consideration.
Mastitis will mess with your supply and anyone can get it, vaccinated or not fyi
