DTAP is to protect baby not you.  Pertussis  (the P in DTAP). Is fatal to infants and they can't shoes for it till the are a couple months old.

I got mine at 33 weeks because I knew it would benefit my daughter more than anything. I didn't feel the shot but it had my neck and arm sore for two days! From what my nurse said...I'd recommend it

It doesn't matter when the last time you got your shot was! Every time you get pregnant you'll need to get it again!

I got the tdap shot so my little girl will be protected it didn't hurt the day I got it but two days later it felt like someone punched me in the arm. The hospital will offer it after you deliver but the baby won't get as many antibodies from it as if you get it around 36 weeks if your breast feeding.

It's more for your baby than for you. They can't get their shots until they're 2 months usually so it'll protect them in the meantime. I'd recommend it.

You need the tdap everything your pregnant. If not pregnant then every 5 years. That's what my doctor told me. Also the pharmacy
