I am currently a nanny to 3 kids ages 4, 2 and 4 weeks. My employer asked me a few weeks ago before my wedding if I wouldn't mind getting the pertussis vaccine after the wedding to protect the baby.
However I read online that the vaccine Isn't recommended for pregnant women until they are in their 20th week. And because my sister and my mom both miscarried their first babies I don't want to risk it. But I also don't want to tell anyone just yet.
I am so nervous that if I tell her now they wont let me continue nannying for them and I will not have a way to save up money for the baby. Luckily my husband is great at construction as is able to do side jobs on the weekends to pay the bills. But once the baby comes I know that everything will get a little more expensive.
Last thing I am worrying about right now is the fact that we do not have health insurance and a lot of the health insurance agencies consider being pregnant a pre-existing condition. I just want to take care of my body the best I can for this baby. No advil, no drinking, eating properly, and working out. I even started on prenatal vitamins 2 days after the positive pregnancy test.
