A member asked:
Can having a child make you less susceptible to illnesses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immunity: Actually, your immunity doesn't improve at all. But your newborn infant temporarily has your immunity from the antibodies that have migrated to your baby through the placenta. That's why we like to give pregnant women flu shots and whooping cough vaccine. It's safe and protects your baby-to-be.
