[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]

WRONG WRONG WRONG.

Measles is NOT Rubella. Rubella is GERMAN MEASLES and is a DIFFERENT DISEASE.

I am 100% pro vaccine, but PLEASE don't spout lies like this.

Pregnant women (I am one of you), don't worry -- you probably had your Rubella immunity checked in your first pregnancy with your bloodwork. Unless your OB indicated concern, you should be fine even if exposed to Rubella -- which this is NOT. Don't listen to this idiot.[/quote]
