Odd statemment: In most instances you would only need to wait one month after receiving a live viral vaccine like varicella or MMR. Why you think you would need to wait longer is confusing.Varicella is an uncommon complication of pregnancy but it does happen. It is worst on baby if it occurs around the time of childbirth although treatments are available.
