Usually the gynaecologist prefers to give first dose after the first trimester say 16 weeks and give second at 20 weeks. However you don't have to wait until pregnant, you can take them anytime till you complete the 5 doses

All women of child bearing age should have 5 doses of Tetanus Toxoids ... You can take before or during pregnancy.... It is important to prevent neonatal Tetanus in the newborn baby.
