Pregnancy problems. If pregnant, measles exposure can result in pregnancy loss, preterm labor or low birth weight.

Not also congenital deafness and even mental retardation? Or is that only for German Measles?

German Measles (or rubella) can be deadly to a fetus.

Up to 90 percent of infants born to mothers who had rubella during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy develop congenital rubella syndrome. This syndrome can cause one or more problems, including:

Growth retardation
Cataracts
Deafness
Congenital heart defects
Defects in other organs
Mental retardation

The highest risk to the fetus is during the first trimester, but exposure later in pregnancy also is dangerous.
