I know that my ob made me wait to get my tenus pertussis shot all in one. But I had to get it done around 30-36 weeks. I would ask your dr about it, just because you don't want to get it twice.

Yes it is ok. Actually it is wise to hav that vaccine. It is the only vaccine according to my midwife that is given to pregnant women.

I think you aren't able to get a tetanus shot while pregnant until your third trimester.
