Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Immunization with MMR and varicella vaccines whilst pregnant or shortly before becoming pregnant has no known risk. The vaccination in pregnancy is most recommended. You have no reason to terminate the pregnancy.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
