Infections
Some infections may not be particularly harmful to you
as an adult, but they might linger in the body and affect your baby at conception. To be safe, follow these simple tips:
German measles (Rubella)
Exposure to this
virus during early pregnancy can cause problems for the baby. Most girls receive a Rubella vaccination at school but it is
advisable to have a blood test to check your immunity, prior to conceiving. If you are not immune you should be vaccinated
as soon as possible, then you should avoid becoming pregnant for the next three months as the mild form of the virus used
in the vaccination could still be in your body. For information ask you G.P. when you have your check up
