Does your immune system lower during pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pregnancy & immunity: There are modifications of the immune system during pregnancy mostly caused by increased cortisol levels. Although important in maintaining the pregnancy, these are usually not clinically significant in disease or tumor protection.

I am not immune to rubella. I had my levels checked at the start of my pregnancy. I had the vax in 2007 after the birth of my 1st child because I wasn't immune then either. Apparently my immunity wears off. Do I need to vax again? Baby is 1 month old
