I had routine blood tests at 9 weeks and they detected CMV in my blood, further blood tests confirmed that it was not a current infection but what they can not be sure of is if it predated the pregnancy or not. I am 12 + 4 now
I have been advised to now have further bloods done, a more detailed scan at 16 weeks and an amniocentesis to ensure the baby has not been infected because it may cause the baby to have abnormalities.
I am really worried, upset and stressed. Obviously there are risks associated with the amniocentesis and that is worrying but I am more worried about if they baby has been infected with CMV.
Has anyone experienced this? I am really worried so any advice or words of wisdom would be really appreciated.
Thank you
