I got it a day or two after my baby was born while still in the hospital. I didn't worry about it during pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rubella-was-anyone-low#post-2566963 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 12:37:17 +0000 Weswife 2566963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sapphire: 😜 Okie dokie good! Yes in California!! I think we were concerned because I teach kindergarten, but the kids have to be vaccinated to go to school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rubella-was-anyone-low#post-2566569 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 00:05:46 +0000 sapphire 2566569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rubella has been eradicated from the U.S., so if you are here I especially wouldn't worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rubella-was-anyone-low#post-2566504 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 21:29:38 +0000 mrsrain 2566504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found out my immunity was gone after giving birth, so they gave me a booster while I was there. So I was fine during my pregnancy, didn't even know it was an issue until afterwards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rubella-was-anyone-low#post-2566449 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 19:06:59 +0000 woodentulip 2566449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to me, with Rubella, and was identified when I had my blood work done while I was pregnant with my first. After she was born, I got a booster. When my second pregnancy came along about 20 months later...I was low on Rubella again! It turns out my body doesn't work with the Rubella vaccine (I am sure there is a good medical term for it that I don't know), but I relied on herd immunity and my babes were both fine! Now I just have a note in my file that I will always test low for that vaccine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rubella-was-anyone-low#post-2566425 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 18:23:23 +0000 catlady 2566425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to me, but with chickenpox. I was told I wasn't immune when I was pregnant last summer (even though I had chickenpox as a kid). I miscarried, didn't get the shot because I didn't want to wait the 3 months, and then didn't end up getting pregnant until closer to 6 months later anyway. Just last week, I was told again by my OB that I'm not immune and will need the shot once the baby's out.</p> <p>I guess we will just need to be a little more careful than usual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rubella-was-anyone-low#post-2566411 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 17:51:52 +0000 iheartleopardprint 2566411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant with DS my rubella was low, and I just had a booster after he was born. I didn't really think anything of it or let it worry me, just followed the Doctors safety guidelines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rubella-was-anyone-low#post-2566408 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 17:49:34 +0000 TrailRunner 2566408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually you know my OB mentioned that I would need the vaccination again during one of my prenatal appts bc my blood work showed I needed it. I don't remember actually getting it after delivery tho. I know I got my rhogam after the established my sons blood type, but not the MMR vaccine. So, I guess you can say I was fine during pregnancy without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rubella-was-anyone-low#post-2566378 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 16:19:38 +0000 Weswife 2566378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FYI... when I say rubella numbers meaning the vaccine ha! I don't have rubella. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rubella-was-anyone-low#post-2566377 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 16:19:00 +0000 Weswife 2566377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Husband and I have been TTC since last September. We had one pregnancy that ended in a MC. At the blood test for that pregnancy I was informed my Rubella numbers were low and I would need to get a shot after baby was born. After my MC, doc said I should get rubella but we would have to take a 3 month break from TTC, which at the time there was no way I could handle that. I needed a baby now. Looking back I should have just had the shot since I didn't get pregnant anyway, but I can't predict the future! Sadly. So now I just started clomid and the fertility doctor just got my blood test results back and mentioned I need rubella!!!!! I had totally forgotten I even needed it. BOO! Did this happen to anyone else. Did you get pregnant and were ok without rubella? I really don't want to skip this month since I only have one more day left of clomid and all my scans and things are already scheduled. UGH </p>
