Full StoryI am surprised with all the press coverage of the measles epidemic caused by someone with measles visiting Disneyland that the news reports of the danger has been so incomplete. A great danger omitted in the reporting is to any fetus. A woman does not have to contract measles for the disease to negatively impact her baby. Exposure is enough to do the damage, which can include severe malformations of the baby physically and neurologically and even death or stillbirth. I think pregnant teachers especially need to be really careful.
