So, we know young and healthy people generally do pretty well. But we also know that there are increased risks to pregnant women, and babies in the womb of pregnant women.

Also study participants in both Pfizer and Moderna were told not to get pregnant, and yet I think there were 17 pregnancies in the Pfizer trial. As of February 16th, there were 30k pregnancies reported between both Moderna and Pfizer.

Check out the safety data here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-2021-02/28-03-01/05-covid-Shimabukuro.pdf

Specifically check slide 32 onwards.


To summarize: If it was me, I'd rather get vaccinated before pregnancy than worry about COVID during pregnancy. Or even worry about vaccination during pregnancy (though that's looking to be pretty safe so far as well).

Don't do it

Seems like it would be awkward for the vaccine giver, but you do you.

As a woman, I'd much rather get vaccinated before getting pregnant. Much rather.

Agree, live that DINK life

Yes it matters that I am a woman as only women actually carry babies and therefore approach that responsibility differently. That said, you are pretty much wrong on all fronts. I can't answer for sure what I would do if I were pregnant but my first instinct is I likely would not until more information was available. Since you think you know my thought process, you missed the fact that my caution is more about how my actions may impact others (which would include a child) as opposed to fear for myself.

I have been cautious but far from hiding under my bed. I have worked through out this, coming in contact with people I don't know every day. I mask under these conditions without issue. I do know people who have lost a healthy daughter in her late 20's, brothers and parents. I have friends who have been terribly sick and others who barely had a cold. Just because I believe in Covid doesn't make me a fear monger.
