Slap cheek!!!

So I'm having a huge meltdown atm! Had a phone call from my sister this morning who informed me that my nephew has slap cheek and I've been around him in the two weeks he was infectious! I read online (always a big mistake) that 60% of people are immune and occasionally it can cause miscarriage and pregnancy problems. However I text my midwife and she calmed me down a bit and told me 94% of adults are immune and it's a childhood disease so rare for adults to get it anyways but to see my dr and get a blood test asap. I feel a little better about it, but still panicking! Doesn't help that I slept rubbish last night as well so I'm exhused. I burst into tears on the phone with my mum. Pregnancy is terrifying!!!

@ThanksItHasPockets I'm 5 weeks today. Ive seen the dr and he sent me to get bloods done, he seemed happy tho, said most people are immune and it's a childhood disease so unlikely I'll have it but sent me for tests just incase. Just sent me into a right panic! And I didn't get enough sleep so that didn't help! Im calmer now, and I no that the chances of anything happening to the baby is none existent because I'm so early in my pregnancy. And the dr said the increase in chance of miss carriage is only small as well.
