Advice on Slapped Cheek Disease

[JJ Mum]

Hi girls, am more than a little concerned tonight, My daughter was sent home from school as she had a slight rash on neck and red cheeks, they said they thought she had slapped cheek disease and had to go to doctors before they would let her back to school.

Hubby was off work and took her to docs, the docs said they didn't think she had it, but couldn't be sure, and it shouldn't be infectious by the time rash appears, when hubby said about me being 9 weeks preg, they said they would get me in for a blood test to see if I was immune to the slapped cheek, but couldn't tell if I was imune from younger exposure to this or from now!

It does not harm me in any way, but can cause miscarrige under 20 weeks of pregnancy, aparently fluid swells up meaning baby can miscarry or need tranfusions while still in your tum.

Does any one or the moderators have any experiance of this ?

Hi hun

When I was expecting my 1st daughter, my son took it. I was under 3 months pregnant and she's now 14

Try not to worry

Thanks Mamafy, when did you know it was ok? or is it just a waiting thing? Do you think you can tell at the 12 week scan?
