Thoughts on pregnancy vaccines ?
I didn’t get any vaccines while pregnant with my daughter and she caught the whooping cough but I know getting them can also have quite bad side effects as we don’t really know what they put in there so I’m in two minds, also in the uk they started vaccinated for rsv while pregnant but again there isn’t much research done on it as it’s quite new . Can anyone give me some advice pls!?

My advice is to read the vaccine inserts available on NHS website or the manufacturers website. Includes all ingredients and known side effects at the date of manufacture.
P.s I didn't get any and won't this time either.
could u send me
The link of the insert pls, I can’t seem to find it. Thank you !
You'll have to search for each individual vaccine. Here is the whooping cough one (scroll down for "patient leaflets") https://www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/keeping-well/whooping-cough-vaccination/
When you read them you will realise that the manufacturers make no promises to pregnant women I.e they say "ask your doctor before you take this" and "we don't know if this passes into breast milk". So you will have to decide for yourself whether you think your doctor knows more about this shot than the manufacturer and whether you are willing to take risks about transferring to milk etc
Have you or do you plan to vaccinate your kid?
I didn’t at first but then my daughter caught the whooping cough when she was 6 months and it was horrible so once she turned one I vaccinated her
