Frankly, asking this question on a forum of strangers is not the best source of information. I suggest you seek out the advice of your doctor and actual medical professionals and scientists.

And… you’ll probably get a different answer from each….. the so called “experts” are flip flopping on a daily basis.
Google is your friend. Assuredly there are others.
"When Dr. Jane Martin's workplace posted a photo of her receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, she didn’t expect what would come next.
In the picture, Martin's nine-month pregnant belly was in full view, which got a lot of people fired up online. Self-proclaimed vaccination experts scolded the doctor over her choice to get the vaccine while pregnant.
Since getting both doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, the mother of three and a second-year maternal-fetal medicine fellow at Ochsner Health has given birth to a healthy baby girl named Rosemary."
"A woman in south Florida who had received one dose of coronavirus vaccine while pregnant recently gave birth to the first known baby born with Covid-19 antibodies “after maternal vaccination”, two pediatricians claimed. . . . the mother, a frontline healthcare worker, received her first dose of the Moderna vaccine in January, at 36 weeks pregnant.
The woman gave birth to a “vigorous, healthy” girl three weeks later. Researchers analyzed blood from the baby’s umbilical cord and antibodies “were detected … at time of delivery”, their paper said. “Thus, there is potential for protection and infection risk reduction from Sars-CoV-2 with maternal vaccination.”"
Several coworkers or their spouses, and friends have given birth since April. All were fully vaccinated, and gave birth to healthy infants. One had their infant tested as part of hospital research and was born with antibodies against COVID (but please don't take that as gospel, just one data point).
On the flipside, I've been within 1 or 2 degrees of connection with 3 people who have miscarried during COVID. One was a very mild case, one was moderate but not enough to be hospitalized, and one was hospitalized and had a stillbirth 2 months early in the hospital.
Data bears out that COVID is a higher risk to pregnant women than the vaccine.

We didn't have flip flopping so much, but more the "talk to your doctor" advice didn't bear much fruit. My wife delivered our baby girl in May. During her pregnancy she talked with her primary care and OB/GYN about the vaccine. Both said the same thing. We think it's safe but we don't have enough data yet to say for sure. There are risks with taking the vaccine, and there are risks with not taking it and getting Covid. It didn't really help in making a decision. Ultimately she decided not to get it while pregnant.
My niece (an RN) became pregnant several months after receiving Moderna. She's hoping for approval of a booster before she delivers, as it is the most likely way for her baby to be born with protective antibodies.
She doesn't like the idea of her newborn being anywhere near healthcare professionals or a hospital without some COVID-19 immunity. She got COVID-19 early in the pandemic, possibly from her patients or EMT husband, and had significant myocarditis from the Alpha variant of the virus--to the point where she passed out and now may have some long-term heart damage from the disease--despite being very fit and healthy and in her 20's.
I have a friend who is a nurse. TWO nurses who work with her miscarried after receiving the vaccine.
According to the CDC, About 10-25% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, however, the actual number is likely higher because many miscarriages occur before people are aware they are pregnant. Miscarriage rates after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine are around 13%, similar to the expected rate of miscarriage in the general population.

Good luck trying to convince people with actual facts. Once a person has formed a belief, there is reluctance to change.

“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.” Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God Is Within You
you will find opinions of docs or stats on websites dedicated to infertility treatments such as eggdonationfriends, fertilityclinicsabroad, or fertilityfriends. They ran lots of webinars and invited expert to share their thoughts or research results as women who underwent or are planning their treatments are concerned about the potential impact.
I think any pregnant woman should consult with her Gynecologist before getting a COVID vaccine. It would be helpful to determine the risk factors of her body.
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the vaccine doesn’t cause infertility, miscarriage, newborn harm, or harm to pregnant people and shouldn’t be withheld from people who are lactating or pregnant.
Thanks!
