    I would definitely avoid any preggo women hun. Parvo virus can have quite severe consequences for the unborn baby, and not everyone is immune (I know I'm not!). So yeah, I would be overly cautious around anyone who is pg.

    I hope they're both better soon

    ETA I just read some more, and it seems my response is over the top . Apparently it's not so bad for the baby, I must have been thinking of something else. Although there is a small chance of mc if mum contracts the disease. So I would still avoid any pg friends
