26 weeks and ds2 could have hand foot and mouth- should I worry?

think ds2 has hand foot and mouth. Internet says if you're pregnant the risks are possible miscarriage and if in third trimester you could pass it on to your baby. Should I be worried? I'm showing no signs (yet) but I suppose it's another thing to worry about. Anyone's toddler had this whilst they were pregnant?

Ring your MW and she should organise a blood test to see if you are immune and advise you accordingly.

Yes I'm worried ds3 is going to get it too. Ds1 already had it so assuming he won't get it again. I've been madly handwashing since I googled it
