[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're not immune to rubella (Measles) [have not been vaccinated or not been previously infected with it] and you come down with this illness during early pregnancy, it could be devastating for your baby. You could have a miscarriage or your baby could end up with [i]multiple [/i]birth defects and developmental problems. Congenital rubella syndrome, or CRS, is the name given to the pattern of problems caused when a baby is born with the virus. I hate that people refuse this vaccination! This disease used to be pratically erradicated in the US and now all these crunchy people have allowed it to pop in clusters all over the US. Dumb.dumb.dumb.[/quote] Rubella is German Measles, not the same thing as regular measles. So you wouldn't be at risk for rubella in this case. I'm assuming you are vaccinated, but maybe they're being cautious because pregnant women have a weakened immune system.[/quote]
