Jan moms/ whooping cough shot

[Lilseamonkey]

Are any of you getting it while pregnant? I'm afraid to lol is there anything wrong with having it done while still pregnant or is it better to wait til after baby is born?

[Blicious19]

Idk yet im 31w3d i might get it if medicade covers it for me

[bethshahan]

Oh and I also have Medicaid it covered mine so I guess it depends where you live.

I've gotten mine done. A baby where I'm from was actually around someone who hadn't gotten the shot and died today, it was on the news ): its so sad. My doc actually told me its recommended not to let the baby around anyone who hasn't had the shot yet until they get it or baby is old enough to get himself since there's such an outbreak now.

I would call ur local medicad office and ask bc from what iv seen on the gov. Sites alot of states are starting to cover it bc of how much more common its starting to get. Also if there are any free clinics around where u live u can call and see if they can help cover it or know where u may be able to get it free or low cost if ur insurance doesn't cover it. Also try ur wic office. I know mine asked me if i was going to get it so they may be able to point u towards a place to get is free also

They're saying it doesn't work. So I wouldn't want to risk it. I didn't get my flu shot either I'm perfectly fine (thank God) and I was never planning on getting the whoopy cough one either. My mother in law and sister in law were talking about it because she was thinking about getting it she's pregnant too.

Im due Feb 11th and i got mine today. I have Medicade in ny and they covered mine. Its best to get it while ur still pg as it will imunises the baby as well until he/she is old enough to get one of their own.

[Lilseamonkey]

I hear you girl. I'm struggling for money too I hope they cover it for me :/

[texxasbby13]

Awww medicaid covered mine today!!

[mommitete]

[Galvez]

i got mine the day after my first born was born n gana do the same for baby #2

[Lilseamonkey]

@mommitete how much did it cost?

[mommitete]

Yea i was tolds they dont cover it at all i wanted to get it so bad for my lil ones health but i just cant afford it if i could i would have gotten it

[Leximama93]

I'm due in December but I got mine. It's highly recommended that you get it while pregnant.

[Lilseamonkey]

Really? Medicaid doesn't cover it? That's bogus..

[mommitete]

Im a dec mom but i didnt get it because i dnt have the money to pay for it nor does medicaid pay for it

[mfren]

I got it when I was pregnant with my first and he was perfectly fine

[DanielleElizabeth93]

I had it done when I was 31 weeks I pass it on to bub otherwise there's a chance they could catch it before they get their own jabs

[texxasbby13]

I'm a dec. Mom but I got mine today actually. I don't think my midwife would have recommended it if it weren't safe :)
