Whooping cough booster?

edited April 2014 in Success after IF
Were you told to get a whooping cough booster any time after your first baby?  Are you supposed to get one during 3rd tri again to help protect the baby?  I thought I remembered that I was supposed to do this, but my OB hasn't said anything.  There is an outbreak right now near my parents, so they called their doctor to see if they needed a booster.  But their doctor said their shot was good for 10 years.
I have an appt. with my OB on Thursday, so I will ask then.  I'm just curious what the rest of you have heard/done.  TIA!

    Yes, I had one last time when I was pregnant with DS and my OB recommended it again. I just got it at my last appt. The CDC recommends it every pregnancy for maximal maternal antibodies and passive antibody transfer to baby. I would def. ask for it.

    Thanks everyone.  I know for my last pg I was able to get it for free here at work.  I'll confirm with my OB tomorrow, and hopefully get it at work Friday.
