Her mom originally thought it was an allergic reaction to the antibiotic she was on for strep throat, so she sent her to school. I spent the day loving on this little one who felt very self-conscious about her rash only to find out at day's end that it was 5th Disease and could be very dangerous (even fatal) for my unborn child. Thankfully this mom knew I was pregnant as I hadn't told many and knew how dangerous it could be for a pregnant woman for I had never heard of it. I had to stay out of school for a week to allow it to clear the contagious stage in my classroom, as it turned out I was not immune. It can cause severe fetal anemia and is most dangerous in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. It is nothing to mess around with if you're pregnant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-19710852583039136112010-07-24T06:03:52.186-07:002010-07-24T06:03:52.186-07:00Hey friend.

I remember it well as my SIL was pregnant at the time so changed her plans about attending a family reunion just in case someone was a carrier at the time.<br /><br />Poor little Ree has had a rough couple of weeks! Wonder if she got it when her immune system was down with the flu? Poor lamb!<br /><br />Glad to hear it's not bothering her. What a trooper!<br /><br />Praying Ro doesn't get it too.

I can check that off my list.<br /><br />It can cause miscarriage in PG women, if you have been around any women in their first trimester they will need to advise their doctor of their exposure.fuzzandfuzzlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03384943208016317509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-15792614553285608642010-07-21T18:09:54.836-07:002010-07-21T18:09:54.836-07:00M3,

Of course I said "Huh?" and immediately ran to the internet and then called the doctor only to find out the same thing that you did. <br /><br />By the time anyone noticed anything (which was just the tell-tale red cheeks) she was no longer contagious. So I did exactly what you're doing. Fortunately it did not bother her one bit - she didn't even notice.<br /><br />Hopefully she won't even notice either and hopefully her twin won't get it.kelinkchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373686231379373351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-38707598159071610642010-07-21T17:02:38.252-07:002010-07-21T17:02:38.252-07:00Adults can get Fifths and it can be much worse for...Adults can get Fifths and it can be much worse for them than for children. I contracted the Parvo virus from my children, all three had it. While their symptoms were not serious, it was a nightmare for me. I developed arthritic like symptoms, fever, and was very sick. The joint pain lasted for months. I know it was Fifths because it was confirmed through a blood test and the doctor didn't even know that Fifths had made its run through our home. It was amazing that he tested me for it.

Students were always sent home and couldn't return to school until it cleared up, and we had to send home a school-wide notice so all parents would know their child had been exposed.
