Hi,

Actually rubella is a type of viral infection. It gets transferred from mother to baby during pregnancy. Usually, it causes heart problems, hearing problems and sometimes brain development may get affected. Your child mostly will show improvement but may be less than normal child.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
