Alexander caught it from a friend last years who’s mom (my friend) was pregnant. They did all kinds of tests on her, I think it’s one of those things that if you catch they can monitor. Also, remember, if she’s already had it in her lifetime I don’t think she can get it again (which is very common). I basically told you nothing there, didn’t I? It’s too early, maybe I should come back when I’ve been awake a few hours.

Only advise–relax and take it one step at a time.

I Dr. Goggled and diagnosed GC with that a few months ago. A friend of mine, who had just had a baby, told me she had actually been tested to see if she had the antibodies in her blood during a routine pre-natal testing. First I heard of it - progress, I guess. Anyway, apparently preggos get tested to see if they’re immune to it early on in pregnancy now. Just FYI.

Here’s some info from the CDC:
(link removed because it’s buggering your comment!)
I’ve recently been exposed to a child with fifth disease. How will this affect my pregnancy?
Usually, there is no serious complication for a pregnant woman or her baby because of exposure to a person with fifth disease. About 50% of women are already immune to parvovirus B19, and these women and their babies are protected from infection and illness. Even if a woman is susceptible and gets infected with parvovirus B19, she usually experiences only a mild illness. Likewise, her unborn baby usually does not have any problems attributable to parvovirus B19 infection.
Sometimes, however, parvovirus B19 infection will cause the unborn baby to have severe anemia and the woman may have a miscarriage. This occurs in less than 5% of all pregnant women who are infected with parvovirus B19 and occurs more commonly during the first half of pregnancy. There is no evidence that parvovirus B19 infection causes birth defects or mental retardation.

What? My info was too long to be displayed?
Sigh.

I can see the comment in my admin panel… it wasn’t all for nothing… not sure why it won’t show here.
Maybe the whore filter’s caught you somehow. LOL

Omigosh! DON’T freak out! It’s okay. The monkey just had it, too…and, of course, I’M PREGNANT. I was crying in the pediatrician’s office. But, basically, I had a blood test to determine if I was immune to it already (i.e., if I’d ever contracted it as a kid), and it turns out I’m immune. MOST people are immune. So, your friend’s probably immune. It’s also really no big deal if your friend is in the second half of her pregnancy. And, regardless, it’s very rare that it can cause a serious problem for the pregnancy. Of course, email me if you have ANY questions. I now know everything about Fifths….
