  • Are Vaccinations Safe While Trying to Conceive?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I recently had the following vaccinations: Polio, DPT and MMR as requirements for my immigrations papers. My husband also had them.

    My question is, do I need to wait before getting pregnant? Can these vaccinations cause birth defects?

    I conceived my first child rather quickly and I was planning on getting pregnant again this month.
