Pertussis, or Whopping Cough, is something that can be passed from mother to baby after birth. In fact, one study showed that 30-40% of cases of Pertussis in infant was from mom. After the 20th week of pregnancy, it is considered safe to have the Tdap version. You may not need an immunization or you may not be a good candidate. It's important to talk to your doctor or midwife about this immunization.
