My midwife called to let me know im not immune, she said to be careful and stay away from anyone I think may be infected ect, and that if I thought I had come into contact with it, to let her know, what could they do?
I am worrying now, I did read somewhere that after 3 months the risk of Rubella causing birth defects is lower, but I am still worried, also, as this is my second pregnancy, im assuming I was not immune last time, I wasn't told this though, or offered the vaccine after dds birth?
Anyone got anything reassuring to say?

yep, only 13 weeks, I also read on a website that after 16 weeks complications are rare, should I come into contact with it, so hopefully I will be ok for another 3 weeks.

Im not either!! Midwife told me the exact same, but then she did say that after 20 weeks it wotn do any harm and I will have to make arrangements to have the injection after my pg!
