Hi all..just looking for some advice!
I gave birth to our little IVF miracle 3weeks ago.
During my pregnancy my Gp advised against taking the covid vaccine... simply as we had been on such a long journey to get to a healthy pregnancy and she said it was best not to chance it (this was very early into the roll out of vacinnes to pregnant woman so limited info was available).others, like my hospital consultant and midwifes all recommend I should get the vaccine while pregnant..but I went with my gp's advice as she was more aware of my personal journey and to be honest it just didn't sit well with me that no one could confirm if my ivf meds and injections could react to the vaccine....
Anyway am now faced with the decision again .should I get the vaccine now while breastfeeding? Online advise says benefits are passed to the baby...but at same time I have heard so many people having bad reaction to vaccines that am worried I might get sick for few days and be unable to feed baby the breast milk she needs.
Has anyone out there had to make this decision? If so what did u find to be the pros and cons? Or did you or baby have any bad side effects??
