Congrats! I got mine in April when the data was promising but not fully vetted. I live in a big antimask/antivax state in the south (currently lowest vax rates) so I went with my gut and got it anyway. I should have asked my OB but I knew I was going to get it even if she said to wait, so I just didn't ask and got it anyway. Turns out she is very much for getting vaxxed during pregnancy, which made me feel even better about it.

My baby boy is growing perfectly, and I feel confident going through my day to day. I still wear a mask, of course, per my OB's recommendation.
