I think it's really rare for adults to be affected; I bet your doctor just wanted to be really conservative and test anyhow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roseola-should-i-be-concerned#post-2286955 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 22:43:55 +0000 jedeve 2286955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow just realized lo1 had it when I was about ten weeks pregnant. Didn't even think to be concerned since it is a childhood disease. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roseola-should-i-be-concerned#post-2286799 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 17:38:13 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2286799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleredhairedgrl: My lo had it when I was about 30weeks too. I didn't get it, I assume I got it when I was little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roseola-should-i-be-concerned#post-2286774 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 16:26:43 +0000 MrsRcCar 2286774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleredhairedgrl: No experience! I am sure you will be fine. I hope A is feeling much better now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roseola-should-i-be-concerned#post-2286691 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 14:46:24 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2286691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: @coopsmama: thanks! starting to feel a little better about it. I'll get my blood work back on Monday and should be fine. I don't feel sick and it's been about 4 days since A has even had a fever so hoping things are ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roseola-should-i-be-concerned#post-2286681 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 14:38:02 +0000 coopsmama 2286681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C had it when I was 30+ weeks pregnant with M. I forget how far along exactly but it would've been last summer so 30+ weeks. And it was just fine - I didn't get it and it didn't cause any complications! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roseola-should-i-be-concerned#post-2286565 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 13:00:01 +0000 PurplePeony 2286565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My understanding is that, by the time most people reach adulthood, they've already been exposed to the virus that causes roseola and are likely immune. Most cases of roseola are in toddlers and early elementary school kids. So it's likely you already had it a long time ago and won't get it now...but I'm no doctor so definitely call yours to find out what they want you to do (if anything). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roseola-should-i-be-concerned#post-2286559 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 12:55:30 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2286559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: thanks that is very reassuring :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roseola-should-i-be-concerned#post-2286536 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 12:35:58 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2286536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter had it while I was about 12 weeks pregnant, and nothing happened. I took her to the doctor, and asked about myself, and he just said to make sure no fever or rash shows up. But nope, I didn't get anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roseola-should-i-be-concerned#post-2286531 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 12:32:03 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2286531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A just got over having roseola - almost 10 days of fevers followed by a mild rash on her belly, back and neck. her pediatrician told me that since I'm pregnant I should inform my OB that I've been exposed. I went for blood work today to check if I have it or have immunity and now I'm starting to worry. I'm 31 weeks today (which is 1 day past how far I made it in my pregnancy with A!) but I feel it's all clouded by this now.. I don't feel sick at all and the baby is moving around like a mad man, but I can't help but worry. :bummed: </p> <p>Has anyone else been exposed to roseola while pregnant? </p>
