Slap cheek ( parvo virus ) complications

[Kaybee]

Thanks Taylah. Its not often I've been in a hurry for Monday to come round. I thought the lady I spoke to said a 3% risk. I must have misheard. I will let you know how we get on.

Hi Ladies,

I am in the same boat. My DD1 came home from school on Thursday with slap cheek and I have never had it. I have to wait till the end of next week for my blood results to come back and then go from there.

The waiting is killing me though, I'm just an emotional wreck. I had a private scan at 16 weeks to find out the gender so I have contacted them again this morning to see if they could do another scan to check my little man is ok.

I'm so paranoid, I have convinced myself that his movements are less and not as strong as normal. I have woken up the last two mornings panicking because he hasn't kept me awake in the night kicking.

Great thread, I have read it through from beginning to end and I'm so glad everything turned out well for your LO Taylah

Littlelady were you able to get another scan at the private clinic? The waiting around is torture. Hope you hear back with good news soon.

 

[LittleLady04]

Thanks Kaybee I'm still waiting for them to get back to me. If I don't hear anything by 2pm I'll try calling them again.
It really is torture, I'm having a bath to try and calm myself down and have a bit of bonding time with bump.
I'm so glad someone in third tri told me about this section, it's nice to hear a happy ending and have others to chat to.

Hope everything goes well for you on Monday hun, it's so cruel that they can make us wait so long

Hi little lady, you should contact your hospital, they should take you straight in, shouldn't they??? Let us know how you go! I was the same ( a mess) I couldn't stop crying I was convinced I wasn't going to make it till 16 weeks which is when they can actually do a in- utero blood transfusion, try not to worry Hun at least you are at a stage where they can detect a problem easily through ultrasound & treat it if need be but as I said before I would be demanding weekly scans for the next few weeks, thinking of you both & will check in tomorrow xxx

 

[Taylah]

Any news ladies??

 

[Kaybee]

Just getting ready to leave for my scan. Will update later.

I am gonna ring after 2pm today to see if my results are back, but they did say they would take at least a week so might be another few days yet

Think my baby now had it!

What makes you think that Hun, have you symptoms this waiting is horrible !!!


I started spotting on friday and had my self convinced this is it went to the emergency room in my maternity hospital waited for ages and had a scan and got to see my little bub looking very healthy, strong heartbeat and moving loads and measuring a day ahead!! I was so relieved, I think I will ring to check when blood test results will come back really want to know, I have no signs and all the kids have come down with the rash one after each other. if I do test positive I am going to ring the hospital and demand they watch baby and FX all will be ok!!

I have been talking to friends and came across two girls who caught the virus in pregnancy and both had healthy babies

He had a blood transfusion of my blood- it was really amazing. I was 21 weeks by then though but they dated the parvo back to 14 weeks. It was a scary time but they can do amazing things. I was under Kings in London and had a absolutely amazing professor do my transfusion

 

[LittleLady04]

Good Luck for your scan Kaybee

I'm possibly going to have a scan tomorrow evening, just waiting for the clinic to get back to me as I forgot to tell them in my message how far along I am.

LO had a good day yesterday though, lots of wriggling and kicking.

My second DD has come out in the rash this morning and my youngest DD is showing symptoms of coming out in it soon

That is great

I am worried about that, all my babies except for one have had A positive blood and I am O positive, So on two my first and my 3rd ended up very poorly in NICU with AtoO incompatability which can lead to Anemia in some cases thankfully never in mine, were they able to check or does it matter if you have diffiernt blood type to your baby

Mine are all the same 11 year old had it first about a week and a bit later 9 year old got it then 4 year old and 22 month old now I think my 6 year old is going to get it as well!!

Sorry to push in here but I have a quick question if you don't mind?
I'm not sure but I think my LO could have possibly/possibly not had this? Last week her cheeks were really inflamed for 3/4 days and she came out in a prickly rash on her hands and tummy but that only stayed for day? I couldn't get her in the docs because we were hit with lots snow! Her symptoms have gone now so I'm not sure taking her to the gp would do any good now?
Did you all have your LOs who had it diagnosed? I'm not sure what to do about me as I'm not sure if she even had it?
Many thanks

It does sound like it!! to be honest I would rather be safe than sorry, go to you doctor and ask him to do a blood test just incase as you suspect your daughter had slapped cheek!

 

[nicki01]

Thank you for your reply. I will get an appointment hopefully tomorrow and let you know how i get on. Fingers crossed!

Good luck!!! takes about a week for results

 

[Kaybee]

Had my scan this morning and am pleased to report that baby is doing well. The practice with my hospital is monitoring for 12 weeks so I will be getting weekly scans until baby is born. I should also be able to get my scans at my local hospital as well which really helps. I will keep you updated.

Good luck to all you other ladies waiting.
