Slapped cheek/roseola during pregnancy

Did anyone have slapped cheek disease or roseola during pregnancy? My toddler had one of these (not sure which, doctor thought could be either) last week and I developed mild cold/flu symptoms shortly after. Both are apparently dangerous in pregnancy for the unborn baby, especially slapped cheek, if the mother doesn't have immunity already. They are checking my bloods for slapped cheek antibodies but I'm wondering if the fact I have some symptoms must be a sign I don't have the antibodies, whichever it is? Would be great to hear if anyone has gone through this .

Not slapped cheek or roseola, but I know a fair few children who have had vaccines against things such as chickenpox, and still get mild symptoms of chickenpox but without the spots and infectious state.
Perhaps this is the case? No doctor though....
I'm sure your bloods will come back and give you better answers
