As far as I can find it is positively recommended that if a pregnant woman is not protected she should have tetanus toxoid in the second or third trimester, as the large open wound in the uterus and the umbilical cord of the baby are open pathways for tetanus to enter the body.
Tdap is recommended for pregnant women caring for babies under 12 months, health care workers who work with children, or whose community is experiencing an outbreak. Women outside these categories can get the Tdap immediately after delivering, or during pregnancy, after discussion with her health care provider.

You should be vaccinated for the tetanus toxin to prevent dying from tetanus. Tetanus is caused by infection with the bacterium Clostridium tetani, and this bacterium is present throughout the world.

The tetanus toxin causes your muscles to lock into rigid paralysis, an extremely painful and potentially fatal condition.

It's usually OK to receive an extra booster of the tetanus vaccine. This is especially true if you're being treated for an acute injury, such as a deep cut or puncture wound, and you can't recall exactly when you had your last tetanus shot.Vaccination is the best way to prevent tetanus - a serious disease caused by a bacterial toxin that affects the nervous system. Tetanus bacterial spores can enter your body through any cut or scratch. But deep puncture wounds, such as from stepping on a nail, are most susceptible to tetanus infection.An adult who's never been immunized against tetanus should complete the initial tetanus series of three tetanus shots. The first two shots are given at least four weeks apart, and the third shot is given six to 12 months after the second shot. After the initial tetanus series, booster shots are recommended every 10 years. Although getting tetanus shots more frequently generally isn't harmful, it may increase the risk of soreness or redness at the injection site.

Is the tetanus vaccine made from horse serum?
No, the tetanus toxoid (routine vaccine) is not. However, the tetanus antitoxin for horses (which imparts antibodies directly to the horse that were produced by another horse) does. That is why the antitoxin comes with increased risk of adverse reaction and also why it doesn't provide prolonged protection. The toxoid causes the horse's body to develop it's own antibodies against the toxin that causes Tetanus while the antitoxin is pre-made antibodies.
