Covid Vaccine during Pregnancy
-
I'm 16 weeks pregnant and am so scared of the vaccine for covid19. I keep hearing that it might cause me to miscarry - is that true? Will it harm my baby in any way?
On the other hand, will it protect my baby? I know my baby will get my antibodies through the placenta but are these antibodies included in that? -
The vaccine does NOT increase the risk of miscarriage. There are no reports indicating that the vaccine causes harm to the developing fetus.
The best reason of all to get vaccinated during pregnancy is that having a COVID infection while pregnant DOES increase the risk to your developing baby -
