Why taking tt during pregnancy?

Question

My doctor told me to take the TT injection in my next visit and i just nodded but didnt really ask her why. Now im curious what its actually for. Is it must for everyone?

Natasha Iyer · Answer

My doctor said the TT injection protects both mom and baby from tetanus, especially at the time of delivery. Its a routine and important part of antenatal care. Usually given in two doses.

Its standard for every pregnancy, dont skip it. Two doses usually, spaced a month apart. Just a mild sore arm for a day, nothing to worry about.

Haan beta, the nurse here gave me two TT injections during my pregnancy. They said it keeps the baby safe from tetanus after birth. It was simple, just a small prick.
