    I am the same - it just means that your level of immunity to rubella is low and you should get a booster shot after you have bubs. It won't affect the baby in any way, but you will need to make sure you stay away from anyone you know who might have rubella - but the chances of that are low, so I wouldn't worry too much.

    Smithy I have no immuntuy to Rubella and I have had the injection about 4 times now. I was very scared when I was pg but eventually I told myself I hadn't had the measles (or even come into contact with the measles) for 28 years I would have to be really unlucky to get them in the first 4 months of being pg. That's when the risk is greatest after 20 weeks its ok.

    I haven't known anyone who has had the same about of immunisations to it as me.. I think it is interesting that it doesn't take to me.. What did your Dr tell you? just that it happens sometimes or something else?

    I figured the same thing. If I hadn't got it by now then I most likely won't
