Hello. While I was pregnant, I caught rubella. I think I was my second semester. My child was diagnosed some heart problems soon after he was born. I would like to know what I can expect. What is his prognosis? I would really appreciate if anyone knew to answer me this.
Hello. Rubella is very dangerous for pregnant women. If it happens in first trimester, it is possible even to have a miscarriage. Heart defects are one of the possible consequences. Usually, those are septal defects. They are defects in the wall that divides heart into two halves. You should consult a pediatric cardiologist. He will tell you whether there is a possibility of operation that could correct this defect. I hope it would be possible. Good luck!
