Infections That May Affect Your Baby

Rubella

Rubella (German measles) caught in the first four months of pregnancy can seriously affect an unborn baby's sight and hearing. In severe cases it can cause brain and heart abnormalities.

In the UK all children are vaccinated against rubella at 13 months old and again before starting school.

Your GP can check your immunity.

Sexually transmitted infections

You can have an STI and show no symptoms, but an STI can affect an unborn and newborn baby's health. If you have any doubts, about you or your partner, arrange for a confidential check-up with your GP or at a sexual health clinic.

HIV and AIDS

All pregnant women are offered an HIV test during antenatal check-ups. An HIV-positive woman in good health and without symptoms can have a normal pregnancy and it is possible to reduce the risk of transmitting HIV to a baby during pregnancy and after birth. However HIV-positive mothers can pass on the virus through breast milk.

Hepatitis B and C

Hepatitis B and hepatitis C are viruses infecting the liver.

Some people with hepatitis B have no symptoms, but they can be carriers and pass the infection by having unprotected sex or through their infected blood. Mothers can pass the infection on to their baby at birth.
