A member asked:

I am 13 weeks pregnant qnd found out i got rubella can i get rid of it? what is the risk of my baby getting it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Confusing: You say you "got rubella", how so. OBGYN's routinely do a serum titer to see if you are rubella immune.If that came back saying you have IGG to rubella, it means you had it or the vaccine as a kid and there is no problem.If it came back saying IGM to rubella is high, it was recent and could make the baby deaf/dumb/blind or abort.You need to discuss this with your doc.It is very important.
