There is no problem with the rabies vaccination and pregnancy because it is a killed virus. The parvo and lepto vaccines are modified live vaccines and could cause abortion, resorption of the fetuses or stillbirths. If she has pseudopregnancy there is no issues to be worried about.

The vaccine shouldn't cause any issues if given a few days before breeding unless she has an allergic reaction to the vaccine (usually we see this issue within the first day) and allergic reactions are rare with this vaccine.
