Thread: Slap cheek virus

Slap cheek virus
My ds2 has it. My ds1 school has an outbreak and my ds2 kinder has an outbreak. I'm really upset because apart from it being highly contagious it is very risky for pregnant women and worse with anaemia which I also have. I have to get a blood test done but not for a few weeks, they don't do it earlier than around 12 weeks. I'm so nervous if I test positive. I've tried to google info about other women but I seem to get to the parts of them testing positive but then I don't know how they dealt with it or if they gave birth. Does anyone know more about this or if they experienced this and what was the outcome? Could I possibly be lucky and dodged the bullet?

Is that hand, foot and mouth disease?

No I think slapped cheek is fifths disease.
I am sorry I don't have any answer for you, but it is possible you escaped it. When I was pregnant with ds3, ds2 came down with swine flu when it was going through the epidemic stage (and I was in my third trimester which was apparently the worst time) but I never got it.13 years 11 years 6 years & our HT miracle 2 years
6 IVF Cycles(3 SART & 3 Genea), 4 FET cycles, 4 transfers, 3 Chemicals.
Sep 11 2012: Genea, FET, 1 day 5, CGH HB transferred.

Only 10% of fetuses get it if you are infected. The baby can become anemic. I'm sure your doctor will check it out.

I think it's "5th disease" in the US, yes??
A friend of mine was exposed to this a couple years ago and we did a lot of research at that point. We found that the vast majority of people had it in childhood and are totally immune. She had an antibody titer (?) or something like that and she found out she'd had it as a child and was immune.

Oh and PS, I actually did get swine flu when I was 7 months pg and had to take Tamiflu and everything but DS 4 is just fine. Even when you do get these things, it can still turn out ok in the end. all turns out well.

I was exposed to it while pregnant with DS3 and had to be checked to see if I was immune to it - I was even though my mum has no recollection of me ever having it. I think it's so common that it's quite likely you had it as a child even if you don't realise it. FX for you x

I am not trying to freak anyone out but this is what slap cheek is and how it can affect your baby and you while pregnant. And in no way am I try to say you have this. Just clarifying for some. And it is good to be tested just in case.
Slapped Cheek Syndrome (slap cheek, fifth disease, parvovirus b19) click here.
This is one of the many test the ran on me while pg with Evan...because this virus can cause Hydrops (but there are many other things that can cause it as well).Last edited by princesssarah34; December 12th, 2011 at 02:46 PM.

Ugh girls thank you for replying and your well wishes I really don't know what to think I'm biting my nails off and I'm not a nail biter. One minute I'm thinking it will be fine and then I find out more about it and I start feeling anxious. I wish they'd just test me now so I could sleep better...
