Rubeola ("ordinary" measles), not German measles
2006-09-07 05:24:03 · update #1
If a pregnant woman is infected with German measles there is a risk of damage to the unborn child. In some cases, the dangers are so high that an abortion is recommended. Fortunately, this is very rare today as most young women have been vaccinated against German measles.

I dont think it could cause birth defects but it could cause difficulties in the pregnancy.
