The best thing to do is just ask your doctor or a government official. While Yahoo answers can help it's always best to get a professional opinion in things like these.

uhhh have u seen the movie "jarhead" well in the movie the soldiers have to take a pill that when or if they should get a women pregnant the child wont come out all deformed. well we (soldiers) actually have to take a similar pill........so anyone traveling there might have to do the same. i personally would not suggest you going there while you are pregnant, too risky

She needs to get the "Don't Travel To The Middle East While Pregnant Vaccine." That is not a vacation spot. Don't put yourself and your baby at risk.

as far as i know there are certain shots (yellow fever, menangitis etc) that cannot be administered during a pregnancy so please check with your health care service provider.

Depends on which country you are going to.

Here in Iran you don't need to have vaccinations. Iran is one of the safest countries and we have one of the best medical cares.
Every year a lot of people around Asia come here for medical cares.

Except of some of the southern part of Iran (Just South & East Iran's boarders) which are under threats because war against Iraq and Afghanistan.
There aren't enough health care because war and people may catch some diseases.
If you don't want to go to these boarders, don't worry. Iran is comletely safe.

For more details and finding out about some other Middle Eastern coutnries take a look at follows link:
