Mmmm my pregnancy wasn't planned so I hadnt been tested... was the old fashioned accidental kind

Best damn accident I've been in though!

think it kinda says that assumption isnt a good thing though, I really did assume that especially after having rubella only a couple of years prior I would have immunity - was quite a shock when my obstetrician said I had none!

I thought the same

Neither did I. Infact my midwife wasn't going to bother as I told her I had MMR when I was 12 so she thought there was no need. But quite a few friends of mine had also had MMR and tested no immunity so I insisted :)

I dont think it is common knowledge, maybe for some people.

it is yeah but you are already knocked up then so too late to have a shot as you can't be vaccinated whilst pregnant.

I never knew that you should be tested prior to getting pregnant and no doc or mw has ever said anything to me about the fact that I didn't get tested before trying.

Wow crazy, I got told by my GP (who I might add is pretty wonderful about these things) to come in at least 6 months before we decided to TTC so that if I needed to have a booster if I had no immunity then it would be over and done with before TTC. And I was only 19 when he told me that lol so I just thought all women of child-bearing age would be given the same advice. A shame you don't all have fab doctors like mine
