DS2, 17 months has been off food for a few days, high temp, snotty and very clingy. Today cheeks are bright red and spotty, feel like sandpaper, any thoughts?

I am 19 weeks pregnant.

It does sound likely. Book an appointment with your gp. smile

Sounds like slapped cheek to me - IME they are more ill before the rash appears than after it has iyswim. Being pregnant you really must see your gp though.

If it's sandpapery then it could be scarlet fever. You need to see the GP anyway.
