28 Weeks - Tetanus Toxoid (TT) Vaccine (1st Injection)

Today is my 28 weeks prenatal check up (I'm entering the third trimester pregnancy). Hubby and I arrived at Metro IVF, Puchong branch at 10:45 a.m. As usual, I proceeded to do an urine test to test for protein and glucose. It's tested ok. Then, my weight is 61 kg which I've put on 1 kg in two week.    

After waiting for half an hour, it's my turn to see doctor Tee Swi Peng. Doctor Tee measured blood pressure for me, it's fine too. Then Dr. Tee proceeded to do an ultrasound scan for me. I were glad knowing that my baby's position is still head down feet up. Baby's head circumference, heart beating, leg size and tummy are all growing on track. His weight is 1.1 kg now😊(big boy already). 

After that, doctor Tee told us he was going to inject Tetanus vaccine for me. Another vaccination will be given in four weeks later. He was trying to explained to us that this vaccination is to give an early protection to mummy and baby (thru placenta) to prevent the risk of tetanus. Not all private hospitals are giving this vaccine to mummies and the government hospitals are still practicing this. I felt muscle pain after the injection.

According to the babycentre website, "Tetanus is a life-threatening bacterial disease that is caused by the toxin of a bacterium called Clostridium tetani

Tetanus bacteria enter the body through an open wound. Although the tetanus infection is more common when there is a deep puncture wound such as a bite, cut, burn or an ulcer, it may well be caused by a tiny prick or scratch on the skin. 

Tetanus affects a person's nervous system and can be fatal if left untreated. It is preventable through immunisation. Antibodies formed in your body, after the vaccination, are passed on to your baby and protect her as well for a few months after birth".
