BW if it's any comfort I worked at a childcare centre during the first 3/4 of my second pregnancy. I was exposed to lots of nasty infections one of which i think was Scarlet fever. Mainly it was foot and mouth which was rampant at the time. At least you know that you have been exposed and can keep an eye out for symptoms and seek treatment early. In reality you could be exposed to it in the general public and not even know it! You could be standing next to a sufferer in a queue and they might even sneeze in your direction... and you'd think little of it. You could sit next to a sufferer on a train, or at the football. Our bodies are usually very resilient. Just keep yourself warm and healthy and that's the best you can do darl. Remember that everything feels more alarming/dangerous for you ATM... it's a hormonal response... as hard as it might be to hear just take one day at a time... you can only do what you can... "This Too Shall Pass" (my favourite mantra). I'm sure the girls here are right... SF is not one of the really bad ones... I'm sure you'll be fine. *more hugs*
