My first child is 19 months now. I m expecting the second and i m 25weeks gone. I had my second dose of tetanus yesterday. Is it dangerous to my baby since it s been less than 2years since my last child?
Hi, No, Tetanus toxic taken at 25 weeks will not harm the baby in any way. There are some concerns that tetanus given in early pregnancy before 12 weeks may affect the pregnancy. But no major side effect has been proven as yet. You have taken it at 25 weeks, which is very safe. Usually tetanus has three doses to be taken, but if you have had Tetanus taken in last five years, a single booster dose will suffice. Hope this helps. Regards.
