whooping cough vaccine?

[Peytonsmama]

My doctor is pushing me to get all these vaccines while pregnant. Like flu and whooping cough. I've put it off so far. Just want others opinions?

I got my whooping cough. Because i can pass on some of the immunitys while brestfeeding and even my husband went in and got his booster. I fid not get the flu shot though i always get super sick right afyer getting the shot and then turn around and get the flu anyways. But when i dont take it im fine.

@geekmom1213 just because you don't agree with somebody else's opinion means they are wrong!! You might think you are always right, but the lady that posted this is asking for opinions , we all have very clear what yours is and you can do whatever you want with your body and kids! It's your decision, but please be a little open minded and respect diversity! Not everyone thinks like you and instead of insulting just respect! @3rdndone was letting her know to do her own research and make an informed decision! Nothing wrong with that. There are doctor that don't agree with vaccines during pregnancy and. It's fine! They are just espousing their point of view and it's up to us to make an informed choice!
Good luck everyone with their pregnancies and please don't get vaccines just because somebody "push you" to get them! Get them if that is your decision only

Paranoia?!?!? How about the biggest outbreaks of whooping cough in forty years? The deaths of infants who could easily have been protected? These are facts, darlin'. Not speculation, and not the fear-mongering you're trying to spread.
I don't think those of us who are listening to our doctors and respecting the actual medical research (instead of whatever you're studying at the University of Google) are the paranoid ones.

I gave in and got the tdap after a ton if back and forth and research. In the end for me the known risks of he illnesses and the rate of infection growing like it has been lately was worse than the slim unknown risks if the vaccines. Haven't gotten the flu shot though and think I'll skip it. I use sanitizer and wash hands and eat healthy and take vitamins and avoid sick people and kids.

Whooping cough is often fatal in infants under 3 months...do you really want to risk your baby's life over something completely preventable
