Rubella Vírus
Hi mom's did some know or heard about this vírus. I know it's dangerous for pregnant women. Please let me know if have any information about it.
Do you think you have been exposed to rubella? Or are you just curious?
if you have rubella at the 1st trimester, chances are high on having a miscarriage.. mothers who had kids with rubella or had german measles give birth to kids that are deaf blind.. normally if you were found to have rubella while pregnant, your doctor might talk to you about termination or abortion if in case you dont miscarry..its still a mother's choice but it dangerous for pregnant women..
It's the German measles. I am one of the few people whose body for some reason can't develope immunity to it even with my vaccines so I have to be careful of people with rashes and things like that. It's very scary with things like the measles making come backs because people don't vaccinate against these deadly diseases...
i was misdiagnosed of having german measles when i was 3 weeks..i took the rubella titer and had a negative result(meaning i never really had german measles) ask me anything about it..ive been so paranoid that i learned so much
Im currently taking a microbiology class and Whatever you do, do not get the rubella vaccine, MMR, while pregnant. It's extremely dangerous for the fetus, to the point you shouldn't get the vaccine 3 months before planning to pregnant.
The virus replicates in the upper respiratory tract and then transfers to all of the body, crosses the placenta and damages embryo/fetus.
The consequences can be: cataracts for baby, deaf, heart defects, mental retardation and death during first year.

Depending on how old you are, you might have gotten a rubella vaccine when you were little. Do you have your early medical records? Talk to your doctor about having a titer run to see if you have ever had rubella (I don't know if it picks up if you have had the vaccine.)
