I don't know if I'm worrying completely unnecessarily, but as I can't contract my gp or midwife until monday, I thought I would see if anyone else has had similar. I feel generally ok, but woke up yesterday with one very pink cheek which was very warm to the touch, this subsided after about 3 hours but returned last night. I had a headache when I woke yesterday too and have the same this morning and I'm very snuffly I don't know whether these are connected or if it's just coincidence, but I've been reading about the slapped cheek virus. I'm 33wks so I think risks are minimal even if it is this but would appreciate hearing anyone elses experiences please. Cx

you could call your maternity dept and ask them and say your concerned they would take your bloods to check for the parvovirus and i suppose would get the ball rolling quicker if you take that course .....or go to a&e most adults are immume but as your having symptoms, would be best to get it checked asap..dont leave it till mon xx
You need to have a blood test to see if you have parvovirus b19, most adults are immune. Before 20 weeks of pregnancy it can cause too much fluid inside the babies body and a blood transfusion is given and vey regular scans. But past 20 weeks normally there is no issues and baby will be fine. I agree with baby mother rest the ball rolling now, call the out of hours doctor.
