Re: Daughter has rash worried 27 wks pregnant!!

When my daughter was 1 year old she had Rubella (German Measles). She had been delayed on receiving all of her shots because she had asthma and we had to work her immunizations around her asthma attacks. Anyway, my sister, which was 3 months pregnant with her 1st child came to visit before we knew what my daughter had. I was devestated when I found out what it was because German Measles can cause terrible birth defects in unborn children (deafness, etc.). Gosh did I feel guilty for exposing her to that. My sister's ob told her not to worry unless she actually caught the illness. She didn't and my neice is fine. But the scare taught me to keep my kids away from all pregnant women until I knew for sure what the illness was. Obviously, you can't stay away from your own child, but you can take her to the dr and determine what the situation is. You should call her peditrician today and have her seen for her own good and your baby's good. It's probably something mild, but you never know.
