    It is a little different in USA TT injections are not given to pregnant women but it is given after the baby is born. This is what my Doctor said when inquired about TT injection.

    Hey even I am in singapore , and even my doctor didnot ask me to take any TT injection. Only thing here which she was stressing was she asked me to take hepatitis vaccination immediately after delivery.. I think it depends to country to country...

    Re: Tetanus Shot

    I live in california and my doc also asked me if i already had tetanus shot(TDP).They will give it to me and my hubby in the hospital after the baby is born.They are giving it to all pregnant women because the area we live in is at risk of whooping cough.
    I also had same concern whether its safe for the baby doc said its better to have it for the baby's immune.

    Hi all,

    Maybe I can help some clear their doubts. I spent first half of my pregnancy in Singapore and during that time I was administered onlh flu shot. I did ask my doctor about tt injection. She said in Singapore it is not needed.

    After I came to India, my doctor here asked me about tt and gav me a shot at 25 weeks. I am now 30 weeks and doc said my 2nd TT injection will be given again at 32 weeks.

    so its compulsory only in India. Tt is nt given for baby's benefut but the pregnant mother.
