Hi there, Very sorry to know about your loss. If the cause of this babies death is due to rubella then you need not worry about next pregnancy, because once your wife has had the infection, she will develop immunity to it. So next time she will not get a new infection. Rubella damages pregnancy when it is the women has the infection for the first time during pregnancy. If she has already developed immunity to it, she need not worry about it. Her next pregnancy will not be affected by rubella. Hope this helps. Regards.
