I got mine on Thursday and felt like I was getting sick on Friday. I had body aches and I needed an afternoon nap even after 9+ hours of sleep the night before. It might not be attributed to the TDAP, but considering I've been feeling great the past couple months and it only lasted for that day, I personally think it was a side effect.
My H had his TDAP a few weeks ago and his arm was hurting him for a few days and he felt really lethargic the day after as well.
I was ok after - the sore arm was a bitch though! I couldn't raise my arm above my shoulder It's fine now (I got it Friday), but Saturday/Sunday were not fun.

belle0720 I was wondering about hubby getting one. Last time I had one it was at the hospital after delivery, before they changed it to during pregnancy. I can't remember if he got one or not. Did you doctor suggest it?

DH and everyone in our immediate families got it when I had DS1 in 2011. (well, not MIL, but she was advised not to by her PCP bc of chronic medical crap she had going on).
I'm the only one who will be getting it this year, since everyone else is good to go.
Did you all get yours through your OB or PCP? My doctor/midwives haven't brought it up yet, but I'll ask at my next appointment.
My midwife will be doing it. I was supposed to get it last week at my appt but they took pity on me since I was also doing the glucose test and getting the Rhogam shot and said I could get the Tdap at the next one.

I got mine at my ob. My arm was super sore for a week!! I felt like such a baby. My 4 year old got hers the day before and her leg was fine the next day.
What is it for? I feel like I have asked this before but don't remember. I don't think I have ever got one and my ob hasn't mentioned anything about it.

Pertussis/whooping cough.
Ok thank you. I will bring it up at my next appointment.

And tetanus & diphtheria... The biggest reason they recommend for people to update especially those around babies though is the whooping cough/pertussis.
My husband is petrified to get shots. He says he won't get the Tdap. Any suggestions on how I might sway him?
Have him listen to recordings of babies with whooping cough and that it can be fatal to babies. It is a terrible sound and breaks your heart because the baby sounds so sick. They use the recordings in commercials for awareness and to convince people.
I'll be getting mine I believe at my next appointment in 2 weeks. At our birthing class this weekend the instructor was very adamant about anyone who will be spending 4 straight hours with the baby at any time before they are 6 months old to get updated at least with the pertussis shot. DH is making his appt with his PCP in the next couple weeks.

He just happened to be going to the doctor for something else and was due for it. But he would have gone in separately to get it done if that wasn't the case.
Will ask about this at my OB appointment today. I know I've had a tetanus shot in the past 2-3 years, but they aren't one and the same, right?
I got one last year too, but my ob explained they recommend it during pregnancy because some of the immunity passes through to the baby to give them some protection until they are old enough to get the shot.
I will be getting mine in the next few weeks as well. I got one in 2012 when my niece was born along with the rest of our family so my OB said everyone is covered, including DH for 5 years. BIL apparently didn't get one last time (grr) so I sent a note to the entire family reminding them of the importance and anyone who didn't get one to please do so before they see the baby.
I'm also going to ask everyone to get a flu shot prior to the family getting together at Thanksgiving/Christmas. Sorry, not sorry.
DH is going to go today when he is out running errands. I am going to go after work tonight and try and get it then. Not looking forward to having a sore arm. Hopefully that since they ask you what arm you want it in, I am going to request my left arm... I sleep on my left side and this will help with making sure the soreness goes away faster... It is what I did with the flu shot and worked like a charm.
My Ob Said yesterday that Dh only had to get it once, grandparents need to get it with the Pertussis part in it particularly and that they recommend every women get it in the 2nd half of every pregnancy. If your DH's cant get into their PCP and you have a Walgreens around you they offer it as well. Mine doesn't have insurance right now and he called Walgreens and it is $65 without insurance, and insurance should cover it completely like they did for the Flu Shot.
So I'm not bad today. A little tired and my arm is sort of sore, but only when I lift it up past shoulder level. Sleeping on it sucked though. Had to spend most of the night on my right side which is not as comfy.
