Did anyone else get it? Are there any risks to the baby?

They actually recommended it to me to get it in third trimester of every pregnancy no matter when they last time you got it because it goes to baby's blood stream and protects it from whooping cough.

It's a mixture of the tetanus vaccinne, dithering which is a disease that can cause the child airway to completely close off, and whooping cough which is a horrific disease that targets mostly young children before they get their set of three. Totally safe and actually suggested during pregnancy.

It protects against whooping cough and many other things that can possiably kill your baby. That's why they say it's good for family members who will be around the baby a lot to get it just as well as mom.

I've gotten it with both pregnancies and my daughter is completely healthy and so far this ones going great. I'm sure they wouldn't give it if there was major risk since there's no big rush to have it before the baby is here. But once the baby is that's when you really need it and so does close family.
