Not if UR vaccinated: If you received the tdap vaccine within the past few years you and your fetus should be protected. See a maternal-fetal medicine specialist for specific advice!

Whooping cough: Pertussis is very contagious. You should talk to your doctor about this and get checked to see if you have it, you can receive treatment for it if you have it.
