Prognosis
Mumps is a self-limited disease that often resolves within 1-2 weeks. Most people recover from mumps without any long-term residual complications. Deaths from mumps are rare, even in the unimmunized. One attack of mumps usually confers lifelong immunity.
Pregnancy
Mumps in pregnancy has not been shown to cause an increased risk of severe congenital abnormalities or low birth weight. A study in the 1960s showed increased risk of miscarriage with mumps infection during the first trimester, whereas a more recent study had no increased rate of miscarriage.[2][45]
