We are planning to start trying in few months and my doc said get some tests done first. Saw rubella vaccine mentioned. Did you all take it before conceiving? thoda confused if its a must.
I don't know the medical reasoning behind it, but my gynecologist made me get the rubella vaccine before we started trying. We had to wait for a month after the shot before planning our pregnancy.
I totally agree, getting your rubella antibodies checked before planning is so crucial for the baby's safety. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my little one would be protected from the very start.
My doctor told me that getting rubella during pregnancy can cause severe birth defects, so we did a TORCH test first. Since my immunity was low, doctor gave me the MMR vaccine and advised us to wait for at least one month before conceiving.
I also got my rubella vaccine before conceiving as advised by my doctor. It's a simple step that protects your baby from serious risks, so definitely discuss it with your gynac before you start trying.
