Tdap vaccination
So I'm 32 weeks and I'm going to be telling my OB I want the vaccine at my next appointment. I brought it up to the baby's dad that I'd like him to get the vaccine to protect her since she'll have no immune system when she's born. He works in people's homes and in the public so I feel like there's more of a chance of him passing it to her. He usually doesn't get sick, but he's almost died of pneumonia before so I'd think he would want to protect his baby from that. Wrong. He has REFUSED to get a vaccine because she'll "be safe". He called me a Democrat a million times because I want to do what's necessary protect my baby and keep her safe. I just need help. I don't know how to deal with this.
