There have been no studies , atleast to my knowledge, of vaccine usage on pregnancy or the result of vaccination in pregnancy.
Vaccination at non pregnant stage is perfectly fine and should be done as soon as possible. If you are already pregnant avoid getting vaccinated untill you consult your OBGYN.
Also, there have been no studies for comparison between different vaccines .
Next Steps
Follow up with your OBGYN regarding vaccination of you are already pregnant or you think you might be.

There is no trial done for effect of covishield or covaxine on pregnant female or lactating mother, so it is termed contraindicated in pregnant and lactating mothers. But if you r planning for pregnancy then better to go for vaccination both doses and then plan for pregnancy as pregnancy and covid itself will b more dangerous.
