slap cheek update

so I’ve to go in tomorrow to get bloods to check if I have the virus and if it’s negative redo bloods in 4 weeks time to confirm. They did a check of my initial bloods from the start of pregnancy and it turns out I’m not immune to it 🤦‍♀️ as if the journey of ivf wasn’t hard enough xxx

hope you are all good. Xxx

What a worry for you Boo, fingers crossed if you aren't showing any symptoms you are fine and all will be well. So glad they are checking though xx

So sorry to hear this. After everything else you've been through. I thought I read somewhere it might be worse to catch it earlier on in pregnancy than you are but I could be wrong. Praying for you xx

Weird reply sorry (woke up way too early before the crew). Never heard of this - is it common in the UK to be checked for this in initial bloods? Have you been exposed or the commonly check? (Do I need to add it to my worry list?)Good luck fingers 🤞 it's all clear !

hello it’s a common virus in the uk but they will only check you if your exposed to it and are not immune (65% of women are immune to it) it can cause issues but only in very very very rare cases. I honestly wouldn’t worry about it. Mines come back negative and I was with him all day for 2 days xxx
