measles outbreak? are we at risk?

Hello mothers. I am 32 weeks. I live in Canada and there has been a few cases of measles here. It makes me wonder if our little one could be at risk. I called my doctor to ask and I am waiting for an answet. I can't remember if I have had my vaccine, I probably have but can't recall. I am just wondering that if I am exposed to it if my baby will be fine.

I am in Toronto and apparently 6 patients have been confirm so far. I am not sure about the rest of Canada. It is probably best to catch the news of the city you are in.

So I heard back from my Doc and thank God I am immune, so baby will be ok. I definitely think that if you are not vaccinated, stay home! Anything to protect our unborn babies.

I personally have been told that because I'm no longer immune to measles,mumps and rubella to stay out of public places for my sake and unborn babies. Babies are definitely at risk because they can't receive the immunizations and vaccines until a certain age.
I will be getting a booster after ban is born.

I'm 34 weeks and live in Los Angeles. A daycare here had to be closed down due to a measles outbreak. Now I'm freaking out about whether or not I've been exposed and if my baby boy will be okay. I was going to put him in daycare so I could go back to work after my maternity leave, but now I'm afraid to.
