No Immunity to Fifth's Disease - Recent ExposureFrom: Tiffany (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 30 May 2003 15:10:49 -0500 (CDT)
I am 13 weeks pregnant. I work with small children and found out about 4 weeks ago that one of the children I spend time with each week had Fifth Disease. Because of the exposure, my doctor did a blood test to screen for parvovirus antibodies and my test came back negative - meaning I am not immune. Given my exposure to the child with Fifth Disease and now my confirmed negative test.....should I be worried about my baby's health and/or possible miscarriage? Is there a window of time when I won't need to worry about miscarrying due to the exposure?? Also, as an aside, I am measuring large for my due date. Could this have anything to do with the exposure? I had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago and the baby looked fine. However, I am, of course, very worried. Thanks in advance for your response!
