I remember my mother getting shots on a couple of visits when she was pregnant with my brother. Of course, I was five and had no idea what they were for.
I had most "required" vaccinations as a child but have since developed a severe allergy to a common vaccine ingredient so I won't be having any more, so I'm just curious what the Dr. might try to push on me when I get pregnant (I'm not yet).

"t a"...Why don't you at least READ the question before you go into your little vaccine rant. I asked if there were any vaccines or other shots that were ROUTINELY given, not whether I should get them or not. I'm already aware of all the info you posted and am not going to vaccinate both for those reasons and because I am allergic to an ingredient common to most vaccines. If you aren't going to answer my question don't bother posting.

The only shots I could think of that may be given during pregnancy are the ones for Rh antibody, but those aren't routine. The only shots I got when I was pregnant were flu shots and lots of blood drawn from my arm.

If you are RH-negative this will require you to have injections. I also know of some women who get the flu-shot. I have read some articles also that some women get allergy shots. I have Lupus and had to self inject everyday with a blood thinner. If you have gestational diabetes then you may also need to inject. There are no vaccines that the doctors will try and give you but there are blood tests.

Don't get any vaccinations while pregnant.
No flu shot either.
Don't get any dental work done on silver(mercury ) fillings while pregnant.
Do your homework regarding vaccinations for the baby.
They cause autism and numerous other permanent diseases.
"There is a great deal of evidence to prove that immunization of children does more harm than good."
Dr. J. Anthony Morris (formerly Chief Vaccine Control Officer at the US Federal Drug Admin.)
"I think that no person would permit anybody to get close to them with an inoculation if they would really know how they are made, what they carry, what has been lied to them about and what the real percent of danger is of contracting such a disease which is minimal."
--Dr Eva Snead
There is insufficient evidence to support routine vaccination of healthy persons of any age." Paul Frame, M.D., Journal of Family Practice
As well consult a butcher on the value of vegetarianism as a doctor on the worth of vaccination."---Bernard Shaw
"The vaccinations are not working, and they are dangerous.. We should be working with nature."----- Lendon H.Smith, M.D.

I don't know about getting vaccines, but I do know I was tested to check and see if my hepatitis, German measles and other vaccines were still current at my second visit.
There's actually no hard evidence that vaccines cause autism. There are anecdotal links, but not hard scientific evidence.
I'm not saying they don't. I'm just saying TA shouldn't present something as fact when it's not proven.

The only shots I know of are Anti-D injection if you have a -ve blood group which I have, just in case your baby has a +ve blood and my daughter does so I had to have another shot after she was born.

you might get something if you have rhesus blood problems (doc will explain but its rare) but otherwise there are no needles required during pregnancy other than to draw blood. Blood tests are usually done for various reasons at the first visit, 12wks for downs synd check, 28 wks for gest diabetes check and 36 weeks but I can't remember why they do this one....?

Para entender cómo combatir la diabetes, lo primero que tienes que entender es qué es la diabetes en sí. La diabetes se debe a que el páncreas, por culpa de la acidez de la sangre tras comer cosas que no deberíamos, no es capaz de producir células beta (las encargadas de crear insulina) bien. Dichas células son incapaces de funcionar correctamente entre mucha acidez.
Y he aquí nuestra amiga la diabetes.
Mi consejo: empieza por cuidar tu dieta e ir al médico. Hay muchos recursos por internet para combatir la diabetes, te dejo el que para mí es uno de los mejores. ¡No te desanimes y mucha suerte!

I had 2 shots of anti-tetanus vaccines (it's a precautionary measure). Regular check-up with your O.B. is recommended. If she's not giving you any, ask her why 'coz I did...

I am in nursing school and I started my Hepatitis B series after I got pregnant. It was a-ok by my doctor, nothing wrong with it at all. :)
