If you are pregnant, you ought to know that a pertussis vaccine is recommended for you in your third trimester. A new study shows, once again, that this vaccine is safe for pregnant women. “Compared to country-wide estimates, there was no increased risk of stillbirth among vaccinated women....Bryan and his colleagues also compared the vaccinated women to a group of similar but unvaccinated pregnant women from the previous two years. That analysis suggested there was no increase in other pregnancy risks after vaccination either, including death of the mother or baby, pre-eclampsia, miscarriage, C-section delivery or low birth weight. In addition, the vaccine had no effect on the length of pregnancy, according to findings published in The BMJ.” foxnews/health/2014/07/31/study-whooping-cough-vaccine-safe-for-pregnant-women/
