I got it & had no reaction. It gave me a sense of peace that me getting it would help protect my baby.

Its for an extra barrier of protection against whooping cough which can very easily hospitalize a young child. Your child can't get the vaccine themselves till they're in gradeschool.
Normally they re-innoculate you every 10 years. If you haven't gotten it since you were a child, you're probably dur for one.
Tetanus, diptheria and pertussis can all be very harmful for anyone of any age. I'm not out here saying you gotta get anything if it makes you uncomfortable but this is a really common one that safeguards against a lot

Don’t get it girl , you don’t need anything foreign in your body

It’s standard practice and highly encouraged - whooping cough can be devastating to a newborn and the TDAP vaccine during pregnancy protects it!

If you don't get it during pregnancy (there is a window before it's too late) you can get it as soon as your baby is born.

Get it. The pertussis portion wears off after about 20 years, so if you got it as a kid, you’re probably due a booster! Pertussis can be deadly for babies.
