At the age of 16-20 weeks of pregnancy, birth defects experienced by the fetus is hearing loss or deafness. While rubella infection in pregnancy advanced maternal age (more than 20 weeks) rarely causes birth defects. Babies who have disabilities due to rubella will continue to carry these disorders during their lives. Generally 1 in 10 babies who suffered rubella infection will die within one year of age. Nothing can be done to the fetus if the period of rubella-infected pregnant mothers.

2. Vaccination TT (tetanus toxoid)

TT vaccination is usually offered to the couple since I was a prospective bride. Unfortunately, many couples who refused. This happens due to misunderstanding. Many thought that the TT vaccine is a contraceptive injection for spacing pregnancies. Although cases of pregnant women suffering from tetanus is rare in early preventive measures still good right?

The majority of patients will become career (carriers) without clinical symptoms but can transmit the disease because the blood is viral hepatitis. Besides the blood, the virus can be found in the urine, feces, and saliva, depending on the type of virus. The nature of transmission of the virus which is very easy, cause hepatitis can be transmitted mother to fetus during pregnancy, at birth, or afterwards. Risk of transmission remains high, even if the baby was born by cesarean.
