Rubella infection during pregnancy can be very serious for the baby's development. Please do not take this lightly and check with your gynac about your vaccination history. Only your doctor can guide you properly based on your blood reports.
Honestly, rubella can cause severe complications like congenital rubella syndrome if you catch it while pregnant. I had a tough pregnancy journey with complications, so my advice is to consult your doctor immediately. Do not ignore any rashes or fever.
I am in my 2nd trimester now and my doctor mentioned testing for Rubella immunity. It sounds so scary because they said it can cause issues for the baby. Did any of you also have to get this test done, is it normal?
My focus during pregnancy was mostly on controlling my gestational diabetes through strict diet, but my doctor also tested me for rubella antibodies early on. Please check with your healthcare team to ensure you are immune, health is priority.
Just delivered last month and I remember my doctor explaining that rubella immunity is super important. They check this in the first blood test itself. If you're not immune, they just ask you to stay away from sick people, so check your reports once.
