Help!! Really worried!
Hi everyone,over the weekend my 6 yr old daughter has developed slapped cheek syndrome. I've just been on the NHS website to see whether she needs to see a Dr and this is what it says......
If you catch parvovirus B19 while you are pregnant, there is only a small chance of it affecting your baby. If you are infected during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, there is an increased risk of miscarriage. If you are infected in weeks 9-20, as well as the 15% risk of a miscarriage, there is also a 3% risk that your baby will develop foetal hydrops. This is a rare, but serious condition that can cause heart failure and anaemia.
Aargh!! I'm worried now as it said that she could have been contagious for 3 weeks before the rash. I've made a Dr app for 11. Has anyone got experience of this?

"The chances are that you've already had slapped cheek disease, since most people are exposed to the virus in childhood between the ages of three and five. Most (60 per cent) adults in the UK are immune"
Could you ring your mum and ask her if she remembers you having it. Sorry i haven't any other advice but i hope it all goes well at the Dr's.
