A CDC study looked at 46,000 expectant mothers who were vaccinated in either their second or third trimesters.
They all received either Pfizer or Moderna's shot.
Scientists say they didn't find a link between vaccines and those conditions.
The agency still recommends all pregnant women get vaccinated.
