Whopping cough??

[Crystal0093]

Can someone plz explain to me what tht is exactly? I've never heard of that before, is it something common in pregnant women?? If I'm 40w2d is it too late for me to get it? If so, can my baby get the shot when she born? I don't want her getting anything like that...

For us in the Philippines, the pertussis vaccine is part of the babies vaccination at 2 months old. Just avoid sick coughing people as much as possible.

If you get it after delivery your baby is still protected since parents are at the highest risk of spreading pertussis to an infant. If you're immunized even after delivery the risk of your baby getting pertussis lowers considerably.

Also Pertussis is a highly contagious bacterial disease that causes uncontrollable, violent coughing. The coughing can make it hard to breathe. A deep "whooping" sound is often heard when the patient tries to take a breath

[lunab92]

When an adult gets it the cough sounds like a whoop sound and for children especially infants its deadly practically for infants they get a fever can't breathe coughing something like ammonia but way worse

It's a very contagious, respiratory infection...it's pretty much coming back because people aren't getting vaccined. Lovely.

Also called pertussis it is a serious bacterial respiratory infection. It can be deadly to infants and toddlers. You should ask your doctor If you're still eligible to fit the shot.
