Prenancy and rubella

• Women who are planning to become pregnant should check with their doctor to make sure they are vaccinated before they get pregnant.
• Because MMR vaccine is an attenuated (weakened) live virus vaccine, pregnant women who are not vaccinated should wait to get MMR vaccine until after they have given birth.
• Adult women of childbearing age should avoid getting pregnant for at least four weeks after receiving MMR vaccine.
• Pregnant women should NOT get MMR vaccine.
• If you get rubella or are exposed to rubella while you’re pregnant, contact your doctor immediately

What should you do ?

• Rubella is very dangerous for a pregnant woman and her developing baby.
• Anyone who is not vaccinated against rubella is at risk of getting the disease
• If you're already immune to rubella when you're exposed, there's a small risk of reinfection, but it's unlikely that your baby would become infected.
• Further testing may not be necessary, but you should still contact your caregiver to discuss your individual situation.
• If you're found to have rubella in early pregnancy (first 12 week of pregnancy), you'll see a maternal-fetal medicine specialist (MFM) about the risks to your baby, and you'll need to decide whether to terminate the pregnancy. There's no known effective treatment for rubella or any way to prevent infection after exposure.
