How important is it to get a tetanus shot in pregnancy. i haven't had one in 10 years and ethnic background is indian. no injury, asking as routine ?

Not important: Unless you are injured or have a job or hobby like gardening that could expose you to injury. Ask your GP---I believe it should be covered by your MSP.
