General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.
Rubella during pregnancy can have serious consequences for the baby. Planning for a child is therefore a useful time to ask whether your protection is documented, before becoming pregnant and before arranging any vaccination.
Prepare your record, any vaccination reports and blood test results already available. An entry you do not understand can become a question for the discussion; you should not interpret it alone as proof of protection.
A preconception consultation can be provided by a doctor or midwife. It reviews your circumstances and immunity; the professional decides whether further checks are needed after considering the available documents and discussing your pregnancy plans.
MMR, called ROR in France, is contraindicated during pregnancy. If vaccination is considered before your planned pregnancy, ask the professional about suitable timing and precautions before arranging a visit. The personal plan needs that medical discussion.
If you are already pregnant and have had contact with someone suspected of rubella, contact the doctor following your pregnancy to arrange assessment. This requires a medical response rather than waiting for a general prevention review.
After clarifying this question with your care team, you can also explore our Mon bilan prévention page for other health topics if you wish. That approach is separate from the preconception consultation and its personal decisions.
