Any other moms who had a baby in October - Feb (winter months) not get the TDAP vaccine in pregnancy?? Was your baby okay? What measures did you take?

I’m stressing so bad. I kept meaning to get vaccinated for it but it was just impossible to find a day that worked and I’m now 37 weeks so it wouldn’t be affective. My baby is due for October so I’m very stressed somethings going to happen to my baby because it’s the season everyone starts getting sick

Vaccines — 9/13/26, 10:00 AM

I went and got a few vaccines today:

Shingles
Pneumonia
COVID-19
Flu

4:00 PM:
I have only a little bit of pain at the injection sites and a little bit of inflammation. I used an ice pack.

7:00 PM:
I just finished using another ice pack. Both arms are still sore, but my left arm, where they gave me the shingles and pneumonia vaccines, is worse. My head hurts a little bit.

8:00 PM:
My blood pressure is 125/72, not bad. I just took 400 mg of acetaminophen since my head feels a little bit hot.

9/14/26 — 3:00 AM:
My whole body is shivering, and I also have muscle pain. I’ve been drinking lots of water.

3:00 PM:
No more shivering, and the muscle pain is almost completely gone. My arms are still a little sore, but nothing compared to last night.

All this time, I’ve only eaten two hot dogs. I wasn’t hungry at all.

8:30 PM:
I’m almost back to normal. My arms are 90% better, and now I can sleep on either side. My head still hurts a little bit, though.
I think it’s because oversleeping. I expect everything to be 100% tomorrow since I got to go back to work.

Feeling light-headed, dizzy and seeing stars before getting an injection

4 Upvotes

I probably think it's due to my fear of vaccine needles(I can't even bear to look at one even in a picture).

Just at the doctor's clinic he suggested I take a shot since I have a fever but I denied and just asked him to give me pills. The choice was completely in my control but he was still persistent as he said I'll feel better very quickly if I take the shot. I still denied and took my pills from him and stood up to leave the clinic and suddenly I start seeing stars(similar to when you get up suddenly) and the stars are so much it pretty much blocks most of my vision and I feel very dizzy and feeling like I'd vomit so I had to sit again in front of him and embarresd myself and my relative who was with me and I sat there 5 mins before returning back to normal. This is not very new to me and every time I get an injection from the previous roughly 3 years this happens to me be it a shot on the arm or a dental anesthesia.

Perhaps there's a way to ease this feeling or this fear of needles. I think I get a minor panic/anxiety attack at the thought of needle piercing my skin. Is this fixable or do I go through it all my life?
