i am due feb 6, my daugher got diagnosed with fifths disease a few days ago. fifths disease is a bacterial infection that can cause miscarriage in early pregnancy. i have been tested to see if i am immune to it.
well i will get the results back in two weeks.... 50% of people are immune.... if i do have parvo ( fifths disease) there is a 11% chance of miscarriage, there is a 30% chance of me passing parvo to the baby and the baby develpoing severe anemia or fetal hydrops and the baby could suddenly die.
For women who have not previously had fifth disease, contracting the illness during pregnancy can increase the risk for certain complications. Pregnant women who have been exposed to the illness should contact their health professional right away.
A very small number of pregnant women who get fifth disease will have a miscarriage.
In extremely rare cases, the infection can cause a condition called fetal hydrops, in which the fetus develops life-threatening anemia and severe swelling throughout the body. The mother and fetus should be closely monitored with fetal ultrasounds to detect this condition.
When fetal hydrops is detected, the fetus may be treated with blood transfusions while in the uterus, although this is not usually necessary. Some babies born to mothers who were infected with fifth disease during pregnancy may also be treated with blood transfusions.
