Can I get the COVID-19 vaccine while preparing for pregnancy? What should I do if I get the COVID-19 vaccine while preparing for pregnancy?

In a blink of an eye, the epidemic has been going on for more than a year. The promotion of vaccines now undoubtedly gives us all a reassurance. I wonder if mothers who are preparing for pregnancy can get vaccinated!

Because getting the new crown vaccine during pregnancy preparation will not cause too much impact itself, and getting the new crown vaccine during pregnancy preparation will not cause obstacles to future pregnancy preparations, so people who are preparing for pregnancy can get the new crown vaccine.

However, after receiving the new coronavirus vaccine, it is best to wait about 1 to 2 months before preparing for pregnancy. If you prepare for pregnancy immediately after receiving the vaccine, it may affect your body.

If you plan to give birth within 3 months, you should postpone getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons:

1. After taking the COVID-19 vaccine, some normal adverse reactions may occur, and it takes some time for the vaccine antibodies to take effect. For example, if you get pregnant immediately, it may affect the subsequent healthy development of the fetus.

2. In our country, the new crown vaccine is still a relatively tight resource. Priority should be given to key high-risk groups. If the person planning to get pregnant is not a high-risk group, the new crown vaccine can be postponed. Therefore, for safety and personal reasons, it is best for people who plan to give birth within three months to postpone the use of the new crown vaccine.

1. Ensure rest and sleep: Ensure adequate sleep every day, otherwise your immune system will be affected and hormone secretion will be disrupted, which is not conducive to pregnancy. Make yourself relaxed. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You can try to practice yoga, which can relax your mind and exercise your body.

2. Quit smoking and drinking: People have long known that alcohol can damage sperm, and many harmful substances in cigarettes can also kill sperm. You should stop drinking and smoking at least 3 months before conception.

3. Folic acid supplementation: Folic acid plays a big role in the healthy development of the baby. Folic acid deficiency may lead to incomplete development of the fetal brain or malformation, so women should take sufficient folic acid in the first three months of pregnancy. Foods rich in folic acid include amaranth, spinach, lettuce, asparagus, and Chinese cabbage. In the early stages of pregnancy, 0.4 mg of folic acid should be supplemented every day.

Pre-pregnancy preparation refers to making some plans for life, diet, psychology, physical examination and many other aspects in the first three months of pregnancy, so as to achieve eugenics and good parenting. Pre-pregnancy preparation generally includes diet. Pay attention to a reasonable diet and eat more high-protein and nutritious foods. Avoid taking medications at will, and pay attention to routine pre-pregnancy examinations. Women should start to supplement folic acid in the first three months of pregnancy to prevent fetal neural tube defects. Men should avoid taking medications at will, quit smoking and drinking in time, and exercise properly to strengthen their physical fitness. Choose to prepare for pregnancy when you are in the best physical and mental state.
