slapped cheek syndrome

[montysma1]

one of my twins looks like she may have this, very red cheeks, bit poorly, upset stomach. Presumably soon to be followed by her sister.

I am 32 weeks pregnant and have no idea if i had this in childhood or not (and hence immune). There is info on line about this being dangerous in pregnant women although it does seem to mention early pregnancy more.

Has anyone experienced this, should i be worried and should i contact the maternity hospital?

I have no experience of this but didn't want to read and run - from what I can tell from google though you should contact your midwife and they can organise a blood test to check your immunity.

It does seem that once you are past 20 weeks the risk to your baby are slim, so try not to worry, but contact your midwife tomorrow and let her reassure you and do the relevant tests.
