Slapped cheek pregnancy

[ecossegirl91]

I’m almost 29 weeks with baby 2 and my 2.5 yr old may or may not have slapped cheek.
he awoke with a fever last night which he has, he’s very upset and lethargic with a snotty nose. One cheek looks Rosier than the other and I’m very nervous.

what do I do here as it’s Saturday? Do I phone triage? Do I need to wait till Monday to phone the GP or midwife? How will I sleep with the worry, I’m honestly very scared. Had a growth scan a few days ago and everything was perfect and I’m just so scared.

You can't do anything this weekend anyway, and it's riskiest between 9 and 20 weeks or something like that. Just call the GP on Monday and you could request the test which shows if you've had it before.

You could phone triage they are always there for support and advise, I think that’s what I’d do without a second thought! Did you have slapped cheek as a child ? Xx

I’ve no idea if I’ve had it or not, I sent an email to my consultant. I think 60/70% are a immune as adults which is good and I’m not even sure if my toddler has it tbh, his cheek (one of them) was only flushed for a bit so he could have been hot from fever.
managed to calm myself down a bit, definitely much less risky the further on in pregnancy you are so will see what my consultant says. And see how my toddler is tomorrow, fingers crossed it’s just a random virus he has!
