Fifths Disease

[Lilpumpkin06]

My child was diagnosed with fifths disease today and pregnant women are not supposed to be exposed to this. I called my OB & he is going to draw some labs in a few days to see if I've contracted the virus or if I'm immune because I may have had it myself as a child. Has this happened to anyone else? Hope nothing comes of this!

We had a scare a few months ago, and I was screened by my doctor. Everything turned out fine. My doctor said most people had it as a child and won't get it as adults. I hope you are able to stay healthy.

Thank you!

Have you been to the doctor yet? Thinking of you and hoping all is well.

He wants to draw blood titers on Tuesday. He said it was nothing to really worry about. He said more than likely I had it as a child & I'm probably immune. I read somewhere that less than 5% of women have a miscarriage from having it. I don't have any symptoms.
