This feels like a somewhat bizarre question but we have plans for my sister to be my labor coach (I am 38 weeks) but all four of her kids have come down with HFMD. If her kids are still sick when I go into labor, she will obviously not be my labor coach. Apparently, my sister had it as a child but I have read there are different strands and you can be a carrier without having symptoms.

So here's my question...would you feel comfortable with your newborn being in contact with someone whose kids recently had HFMD? I in no way want to make my sis feel bad but my baby's health is top priority.

ETA: I will definitely ask my OB at my next appointment, but just wanted to get an idea since I have no experience with HFMD.
