    I've recently moved house and the booklet from my new gp suggests that women may need to get a rubella vaccine 3 months prior to conceiving. I got this vaccine when I was 12, along with all the girls in my class, and we were told it was to protect any unborn babies in any future pregnancy.

    Should that suffice, or is it advisable to get another vaccine?

    Check with your gp.

    Before getting pg I went to the doc and got a blood test to check my immunity. It was fine in my 1st 4.5 yrs ago but had gone below acceptable levels on my 3rd this year even though I did have the jab at 12.
    Best to have the blood test.
