Okay by me. tlcbaby on "Did you get the pertussis vaccine during every pregnancy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-pertussis-vaccine-during-every-pregnancy#post-2549138 Sun, 15 May 2016 09:53:57 +0000 tlcbaby 2549138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @avivoca: I just really didn't want to get any while I was pregnant...this was a good compromise. :) NavyRN2012 on "Did you get the pertussis vaccine during every pregnancy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-pertussis-vaccine-during-every-pregnancy#post-2549135 Sun, 15 May 2016 09:03:01 +0000 NavyRN2012 2549135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @avivoca: they recommend it in the third trimester so you can give passive immunity to the baby. This doesn't happen if you wait until after birth. travellingbee on "Did you get the pertussis vaccine during every pregnancy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-pertussis-vaccine-during-every-pregnancy#post-2549132 Sun, 15 May 2016 08:46:20 +0000 travellingbee 2549132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No- this last pregnancy they didn't mention it and I forgot. avivoca on "Did you get the pertussis vaccine during every pregnancy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-pertussis-vaccine-during-every-pregnancy#post-2549118 Sun, 15 May 2016 06:49:23 +0000 avivoca 2549118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Like TLCBaby, I got it in the hospital after I had H. I probably won't bring it up beforehand, but they will give it to me in the hospital.

I don't think they advised against it, but maybe they hadn't proved yet that there was a benefit? I can't remember. I'd only had my booster a couple of years before, so maybe that was a factor. tlcbaby on "Did you get the pertussis vaccine during every pregnancy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-pertussis-vaccine-during-every-pregnancy#post-2548958 Sat, 14 May 2016 13:30:25 +0000 tlcbaby 2548958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I had it while I was still in the hospital after I gave birth. I haven't brought it up this time, but if they recommend it I would just do the same thing again.

I will get it again with this one.

Baby didn't make it so it so maybe they would have if I'd carried farther? But LO only stayed in two days longer and they had me get it well before so...? Same medical practice. sapphire on "Did you get the pertussis vaccine during every pregnancy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-pertussis-vaccine-during-every-pregnancy#post-2548804 Fri, 13 May 2016 21:04:20 +0000 sapphire 2548804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Only one pregnancy so far, but yep, I will!

It is due to the increasing amounts of whooping cough diagnosis in small children in recent years. We have a 7 month old in my community currently who has whooping cough.

I got it with my first and then actually wound up with whooping cough this pregnancy so I definitely recommend following the guidelines! lovehoneybee on "Did you get the pertussis vaccine during every pregnancy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-pertussis-vaccine-during-every-pregnancy#post-2548709 Fri, 13 May 2016 15:23:10 +0000 lovehoneybee 2548709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, both pregnancies.
