29 weeks and think dd1 has slapped cheek syndrome.

[ali23]

Dd1 appears to have slapped cheek syndrome. I have a sore throat, no other symptoms, but slightly freaked because I think it can be dangerous to the pregnancy.

Anyone experienced this? Planning on making doc app first thing tomorrow.

It can, but after 20wks you should be fine.

I was exposed this pg, and have no immunity. They kept checking up on me until 20wks, and when I hadn't caught it by then everything was considered okay and blood tests etc stopped.

Thanks x

Same here, about 50 - 60% of the population have already been exposed and are therefore immune. DS2 got it when I was 4 weeks & DS1 caught it when I was 7 weeks. I got a blood test at the drs and I wasn't immune so I got repeat bloods done until about 20 weeks to check I hadn't caught it, after which I was told not to worry too much.

Go & see the doc just in case, at any rate if the blood test shows you're immune then it'll put your mind at rest. In the end my doc said it might not even have been slapped cheek that my sons have, apparently there are a lot of childhood viruses that can cause a rash on the face.

Hi, My son got slapped cheek when I was 12 weeks. I had to wait ages for results and I got a false positive result which meant that it wasnt clear whether I had immunity or not. I had lots of scans to check for anaemia in baby, luckily nothing showed up. They are still treating me as high risk so no water birth for me. tell midwife and get tested asap.
