    Dear IL's

    Need suggestion on is it safe to take any vaccine during pregnancy..
    I will be travelling in another 10 days and need some advice on this based on your experiences in the past and the advice you have got/ followed...
    Should i take H1N1 vaccine as a precaution?
    How about anti malarial tablets?
    I'm travelling to S.India - Chennai.
    I'm not very happy with OB/GYN so far and she has not suggested anything until i asked about it and she didnt say NO to any of this.I 'm pretty sure opinion differs with diff. drs , hence I look forward your ideas here.

    I have never taken any of these precautions during my previous trips but since I'm preg.. this time I want to be cautions and all these arisedin my mind...
    It would be great even if any of you can check with your dr. about this?
    Thanks.

    Dear Sivasankari,
    Did you take vaccines before travel?
    As far as I know,malarial tablets need to be avoided during pregnancy...unless it is absolutely necessary...
