I would like to know if any one has had there baby die after getting a whooping cough vaccine? My daughter was 31 weeks everything was fine and she got the vaccine and within a day the baby had died. She had IVF to have this baby after trying for 3 years and having a topic pregnancy last Nov 2011. Really need to find out some answers so confused..Thank you

Did the hospital offer to do a post mortem? I was unfortunate enough to lose a baby at a late stage, although not as late as 31 weeks, and we were offered this. They may be able to give some understanding as to what may have caused your daughter's terrible loss.

no they didn't offer it I have read a lot I still can't find any thing on trials on pregnant women but the doctors say it's safe. But I found a site that was a .org site I don't have it right here but it said it wasn't so idk what to think

Hi, I'm so sorry for ur lose. I haven't had my jab yet but bein a health professional i would advise everyone to spk to there midwife before deciding not to have it as the test they will have dne on this jab before sayin it safe for preg woman, this chances r very high that this was just a sad event unrelated to the jab. Once again I'm so sorry

They say it's safe but haven't done any clinical test on pregnant women and from what I can find on internet they haven't kept track of any adverse reactions. I do not know if this is the cause but I do know she got the shot on Thur and they say the baby passed between Thur and Sat. So I got thinking to check into this, hoping a doctor (OBGYN) would know better if to give it or not. I'm going to see if I get more comments on this. But I would ask questions b4 I would get this injection lots of questions and please let me know the answers you get.. Thank you

Hi sorry to hear of your loss but just to share my experience, I had the vaccine and was 100% fine also a friend of mine didn't have the injection and sadly her little girl did pass away because she got whooping cough so it's well worth weighing up the pros and cons with your midwife before making a choice x
