Your Dr would never give you a vaccine that is unsafe.

I heard that if you don't get it at the dr then you will get it at the hospital so may as well get it over with!

Tdap is a really important vaccine to get while pregnant. It protects you from getting whooping cough and you pass the antibodies that your body makes on to the baby. Newborns have no protection against whooping cough if you dont get the vaccine and there is no treatment for a newborn who gets it. It is very dangerous to them so I think you made the right choice. I do encourage you to question your doctor if they suggest anything you aren't sure about though. I only say that because I know sometimes I would just go with what the doc suggests and then feel uncomfortable later and I've learned to question more just so I  know what I'm agreeing to. And I trust my doctors, but they don't mind answering my questions.
