hi

im 34 weeks pregnant and my son had a heat type rash for a few days last week on his back. that went and this morning he woke with cheeks that look like he's been slapped. he has no other symptoms although he had a bit of a cold a couple of weeks ago.

i know rhere isnt much i can do for him except give paracetamol etc if it is slapped cheek disease but what im worried about is the baby that im carrying.

am i at risk at 34 weeks? everything i seem to find on the internet mentions up to 20 weeks increased risk of miscarriage. other sites say about developing anaemia but im not sure where i stand.

ive got a midwife appointment tomorrow so will double check then if he still has a rash or doesnt seem well but wondered if anyone has any definite advice regarding this.

im in agony with spd at the moment so dont want to have to make extra doctors visits unless necessary.

fingers crossed it isnt that but if it is im hoping there wont be any complications for the baby im carrying.

any advice is gratefully received.

thank you

Hi there
Sorry I have no idea - but didn't want your post unanswered.
Can you try NHS direct before your appt tomorrow?
