What Are Measles?
8. Pregnancy
Pregnant women in particular will need to be careful about the measles because it can cause some very serious problems. If you are pregnant and you are not immune to the measles virus then you should take extra precautions not to be exposed to it. If you suspect you have been exposed to it then you should let a doctor known as soon as possible.
Measles during pregnancy can result in the child being born underweight, and it can also result in premature births. In some cases, it can even result in miscarriages or still births. If you are planning on becoming pregnant at some point in the future and you have not been vaccinated, you should consider doing so.
