I think I took mmr just before I found out I was pregnant, ab tension ho rahi hai. Planning to ask my gynac on next visit but wanted to know if anyone else faced this. Is it something to worry about?
No, MMR is a live vaccine, so it is strictly not given during pregnancy. Get it either before you plan or after your delivery. Talk to your gynac for correct timing.
I am currently planning my pregnancy and my doctor actually advised me to get the MMR vaccine now itself. She said I must wait for a month before trying to conceive because it's not safe once you get pregnant.
My doctor told me that MMR is a live vaccine, so it should not be taken during pregnancy. You need to wait at least a month after getting it before you try to conceive, as per medical guidelines. Always check with your gynac first.
Actually, MMR vaccine is not safe when you are already pregnant because it contains live weakened virus. It's usually recommended before conceiving or right after birth. Better to clarify this with your doctor in your next visit.
I remember asking my doctor about this while eating my favorite golgappas! She said absolutely no MMR vaccine during these nine months. We have to wait until the baby is born, so just focus on safe vaccines like Tdap for now.
