I think I'll wait until Winter is over than take Cherub for her needles. We are very lucky that she didn't end up having them, it was some other viral infection that causes a rash ;)Julie @ Off to the Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044812604091459779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602062329925420050.post-39238200433746646702015-06-17T15:27:35.121+10:002015-06-17T15:27:35.121+10:00I had the german measles when I was a teenager and...I had the german measles when I was a teenager and I was vaccinated against it.

We saw a different doctor on Mon to check she was over it, and that doctor thought she wasn't sick enough to have german measles and that it was a different viral illness that causes a rash at the end. So hoping she's right and the other doctor was wrong! x :)Julie @ Off to the Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044812604091459779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602062329925420050.post-59831470809049803062015-06-17T12:34:43.648+10:002015-06-17T12:34:43.648+10:00What a horrible phone call to receive!

You were so right to listen to your mother's instinct. German measles is a benign-looking and behaving illness in so many but can have devastating effects too but you already know that. My role as a Deputy Principal in a school quite a few years ago meant that if there was a reported case of german measles I had to ensure every female teacher was told (confidentially) in case they might have been pregnant. Happened to be that my daughter was on a teaching block there and when she was told she said....."well Mum now I guess I need to tell you you are going to be a grandmother!!!" Oh yes. Cue tears and a visit to the doctor for her to rule out where she had the antibodies as when she was a kid she'd had GM but she didnt have the antibodies but remained well...and little bub turned 18 last year.

Us mums are often thrown off by other's people's opinions that we forget that we just need to listen to ourselves.<br />Not too happy about that doctor who was asking way too many questions.
