Pregnant and 5ths disease?

Question

I'm 14w pregnant and I just found out that a boy I've been taking care of has had 5th disease. I understand that this can be harmful in pregnant. I can't call my doctor today because it's the 4th and I'm worried! Ive had achey joints for the last 3 weeks which I know is a symptom--but I've had no other signs that I'm aware of. Has anyone experienced this while pregnant? Any info that was given to anyone by a doctor is very appreciated

Answer

I am a preschool teacher and Im pregnant as well, a couple weeks ago one of my students had 5ths disease so I went to the dr to be safe. My doctor said that most people have 5ths disease as a child and write it off as a cold, and once you get it you cannot get it again. They weren't too concerned but too a blood test to make sure. My results came back that I didn't ever have it as a kid but I didn't catch it from my student either.
