Fifths disease during pregnancy?

Question

This weekend my husband and I were hanging out with my family. My mom called today and said that Monday my aunt discovered that my cousin has fifths disease. She told me that it can be troublesome for pregnant woman. I am 31 weeks along and have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, are there signs I should look for?

Answer 1

This site had a lot to say about fifth disease. I would just let your doctor know you think you were exposed to it! However you probably would have had symptoms by now. Also it is sounding a like a child hood disease! This is the sites!

I read a little from these sites, especially the pregnancy related ones and its sounding like most women don't have any complications from being exposed. Hope this helps but definitely let your doctor know! Congrats on the new baby!
