I am pregnant a guy at work has contracted measles is this a problem for me can it harm me or the baby?

Hard to speculate: Someone your age was likely offered the MMR vaccine which would make you immune for both forms of measles. OBGYN's in the US often test your immunity early in pregnancy to verify your risk level. You may have had measles in childhood & be immune. Risks differ at different stages of pregnancy. Since you have listed none of this information, pro or con, it is hard to estimate your risk.
