COVID & PREGNANCY: Vaccinated vs Unvaccinated | Should You Get The COVID Vaccine?
LATEST RESEARCH!!!
Double board certified OBGYN and REI, Dr. Natalie Crawford, MD reviews the latest research on COVID, the vaccine and pregnancy. Now that the COVID vaccine has been available over a year, there are multiple studies looking at outcomes in pregnancy if vaccinated vs not vaccinated. Although this topic has been one targeted by misinformation campaigns, studies consistently show no harm to reproductive health or pregnancy outcomes from the vaccine; however, a COVID infection can be serious.
Questions answered: Should I get the COVID vaccine if I am pregnant? Is the COVID vaccine safe in pregnancy? Does the COVID vaccine cause a higher chance of miscarriage or stillbirth? Does the COVID vaccine cause an antibody to the spike protein which will prevent placental function? Is a COVID infection more dangerous in pregnancy? Is a COVID infection as bad if I am vaccinated? Am I safe if I am pregnant and get COVID but have been vaccinated?
