Slapped cheek at 30+ weeks?

[SoonbeOutnumbered]

Just heard that there's slapped cheek going round DD's school. I'm 30 weeks now, and while I know it's most dangerous in early pregnancy, is it a concern at this stage? I know I'm not immune - had to have the tests after being exposed early on during my last pregnancy.

I'm not sure but I'm a teacher and one of my kids went home with it today! I had a blood test when some of the younger ones went down with it last week but I've not had the results yet. From looking online it seems that the worry time is 9-20 weeks, I hope so anyway!

My son got slapped cheek recently and would have been infectious before I was 20 weeks, and from what I read at the time, it's exposure before 20 weeks that you'd need to be worried about. My GP wasn't even bothered as I was at 20 weeks, but I insisted on getting tested for immunity as I couldn't remember if I'd had it. The infectious period is 2-3 weeks before the rash shows up, so if you are 30 weeks now you should be ok.

my daughter (2) had this last week and I am 36 weeks - my midwife was not particularly concerned although she has requested my blood be checked for immunity. The only risk would come if I was not immune and had developed the illness - this could potentially cause some complications (early labour/anaemia for baby) but would be very rare. I'm not worried about it as the real risk (miscarriage) comes

Ah, that's pretty much what I hoped - thanks everyone. With a bit of luck then if we're going to get it it'll be over and done with well before this baby arrives! I'll mention it to the midwife when I see her next week, but in the meantime will stop worrying.
