The good old gyn will test you if you say you are thinking of trying (apparently the GA version of the MMR is more potent than NY). Of course, I don’t recall if I got a booster in ‘03 before heading to India. Either way, the South rules. And only a Kenton would name their child Baboo. C’mon, I’m still seeing a monkey. Loquacious, now that’s a better name. Oh, and make sure you register at that poshtots site, Baboo will want a mercedes asap. Sheils wouldn’t mind going back to work, right?
Well, my experience suggests that doctors do NOT automatically test you when you mention you might be considering joining the ranks of parenthood. So I wanted to be sure to put out this IMPORTANT Public Service Announcement about Rubella Immunity!
They checked me for rubella immunity at my first visit. As well as TB and every STD known to man (this is what happens when the OB is in Baltimore City). They did not, however, check my mumps immunity, until I came in with a ginormous cheek earlier this spring. Turns out I’m not immune to mumps anymore, so I can look forward to vaccination after delivery.
