I had the exact thing happen to me, although my test showed prior exposure..must have had it as a kiddo. The first trimester and last trimesters are the most vulnerable. The second trimester is the lucky one. Also, if you test negative for immunity, you are supposed to get tested again 10 days later to see if you were exposed from the kiddo. Then, if it's positive, it's treatable. Plus, the placenta is an incredible filter. Do a google search on fifth's disease pregnancy and you'll find great info to ease your mind.
