Should I get a tetanus shot before ttc?

Question

Answer

It’s not a live virus so you can receive it while pregnant and is something that is offered around 25ish weeks regardless of when you got it last I believe. It helps protect your baby against pertussis (TDaP-tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis). Adults should have a booster at least every 10 years though so if you are due or aren’t sure it’s always good to keep up to date.

Answer

Unless you have reason to believe you're at risk, no point. They'll do a TDAP booster during the pregnancy.

Answer

They’ll give it to you during pregnancy so no need to do it before
