Hi, I can't say for definate but have just googled rubella in pregnancy and it does not mention infertility as one of the symptoms of this. Please do not worry and just enjoy your children
I was told (Boy a Hospital Consultant) this was NOT true at all and I was also told that there is actually NO evidence to suggest that men are left sterile after mumps too. I think that people didn't know much better back in the day when some people even believed that women HAD to orgasm to get pregnant would you believe! Enjoy your kids lol. x x
