I assume that if someone around you has mumps, you should be able to get an appointment to check your blood to see if you have caught the mumps. The reason for that is because everyones body reacts different and scientists need blood to determine weather the body will reject or take the vaccine. I hope I gave you an idea of the most possible answer.

They are looking for antibodies telling them you either had the mumps in childhood or got an immunization for them. So you will not catch them now. When a woman has the mumps while pregnant it can effect her unborn baby.

Yes, especially if they do a blood test. As soon as you become pregnant, "preg factor" hormone appears in the blood. A blood laboratory test is very accurate, because they are looking for that hormone. A urine test works on the same concept; reacting to preg factor hormone in the urine; a blood test can look for lower levels of the hormone.
