Ladies,
If any of you have found out that you have come in contact with slap cheek, get to the doctors straight away!
I came in contact with slap cheek at 10 weeks pregnant but did not know until after my 12 week scan. When I went for my scan everything was fine and looking well.
When I found out I had come in contact with it I went to the doctors and got my bloods done. They took 4 weeks to come back and they showed I have caught slap cheek during my pregnancy. Bu this time I was nearly 16 weeks pregnant. I booked myself in for a scan at the hospital as my doctor told me not to worry! The day of my scan was the day I turned 16 weeks. When I went for my scan it was then I found out that my baby had died. Heartbreaking.
Looking a the scan the consultant realised that the measurement of the baby was 12 weeks so it had happened just after my scan. My body didn't start to get rid of the baby so I carried it around for 4 weeks without knowing!! therefore I had to then have a D&C the next day!

The other day I went back to the consultant, it has now been a month since everything has happened, and the consultant confirmed that it was slap cheek that caused the baby to die. Please ladies get it checked out and don't leave it! I agree there is no info on this horrible virus and something needs to be done about it! The most heartbreaking thing was that the consultant went through all the results and told me that the baby was perfect. The dates and size of it were perfect. It had all limbs and all digits on each limb and all the organs were formed and working properly! It just shows that even healthy and ion the womb slap cheek can cause series problems.

I don't want to worry people and miscarriages due to slap cheek are very low but never ignore it! I caught it from my little brother and I was only with him for a few hours one day!

Thanks ladies x Rebekah
Just the other day
