Slap cheek exposure in preganacy

Had my wee boy (2.5) at docs today as he was red and blotchy up his arms, legs and face. They've said slap cheek but he's no longer infectious.
I'm 9 weeks pregnant and all I really know about slap cheek is pregnant people should stay away. Obviously this isn't an option!
Has anyone ever had this happen to them and what if anything were the risks of outcomes?

I had this when I was 35 ISH weeks pregnant. It's highly likely you've had it before and so will be immune. Midwife sent me for a blood test but the doctor seemed to think it was unnecessary. My test showed I'd had it before so was fine. I seem to recall the risk was miscarriage/early labour maybe. The NHS had a good webpage on it I think.

Thanks I've had a wee look and been in touch with the midwives. Booked in tomorrow to get bloods taken. They say it's likely I've had it already and would be immune but they just want it checked

A few weeks ago I took DD1 to the doctors as I suspected slapped cheek, I was also 10 weeks pregnant. I mentioned this but the doctor didn’t seem too bothered. From my research I didn’t get any symptoms myself so am hoping I have also been exposed in the past and have immunity - glad your getting bloods, they should set your mind at ease x
