T&P Please *3rd update GOOD NEWS*

[sunshineluv]

3rd update. I have immunity and do not have fifths!!!!!! 

I talked to the nurse again and she explained my results to me. I am so happy. Her talk about the doc being conservative was he may want to do another blood test in a couple of weeks to be sure. I am slightly annoyed with how our first chat went and how it made it sound like I have fifths, but really I don't care now that I know I am okay. What a roller coaster. 

Thank you ladies for the good thoughts and prayers. 





 I am freaking out a little bit.

Henry has fifths disease, which isn't a big deal for him. Basically a rash is all. But if I get it, it can cause a miscarriage. I had a blood test done on Tuesday, but do not have the results yet. This morning I have a rash on my stomach. It doesn't really look like Henry's rash, but I am still really worried.

I am calling the doctor soon to see if the blood test results are in. If I have it there is no treatment, I will just be monitored.

Hair pats, thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

* No results today, I have to wait until tomorrow *

** I talked to the nurse and my results were back. She read them to me, elevated something. Then she proceeded to say she would send the results to my ob. She asked about my rash and if I had any joint pain (another symptom of fifths). She said my ob would take a very conservative approach with monitoring, that he likes to be conservative. I asked what the results mean and she said the ob would explain. 

So it really sounds like I have it, I am still confused. DH is pissed,  the nurse read the results for the first time while we were talking. DH was like, what if it was more serious and she wasn't prepared for the call. 

 I called back to ask when I should hear from the doc or if I need to make an appt. I am waiting on the call back. 

I am really wanting an ultrasound and to talk to the doc right away. I want to know my baby is okay. I am scared. The CDC says if my baby gets it, 10% chance the baby will die. I keep trying to think that means 90% chance the baby will live. But I am still scared. 

Not the update I wanted to make. **

Oh my goodness, thinking good thoughts for you!!

When I was pregnant and substitute teaching the dispatcher restricted me to high schools when she found out I was pregnant because it is common in elementary schools with young children. Come to find out from a blood test I was actually immune to it. They said I had likely been exposed to it years ago when I worked in daycare and didn't know because it often doesn't cause any symptoms in adults. Scary. But hopefully it is something you have been exposed to at some point in prior years and you won't have to worry about it.

[skiesthelimit]

Oh no! Praying for you that it's not Fifths.

Thanks, apparently 50-60% of adults are immune. I hope I am in that group.

[orriskitten]

I'm hoping you are immune! Good thoughts your way!

[spaghetticat]

Oh no. How scary. I hope everything is ok!

[jsillyfun]

Oh my gosh! I am thinking of and praying for you.

Good luck! Keep us posted!

[sunshineluv]

Just talked to the nurse... The results aren't in yet. She said to call back tomorrow.

I hate waiting!!

She said if the results come back that I am not immune, they will monitor me more closely with extra ultrasounds. She tried to make me not worry, but I am.

[biblionerd]

How nervewracking! Good luck!

[creamsiclechica]

Oh my gosh! I was just looking this up because my goddamn cheeks have been fire engine red since Friday. And Dr. Google scared the crap out of me. Don't look up anymore, honey, and I'm praying hard for you to be immune and get those results back quickly. Everything will be okay. They'll keep a close eye on you, and you'll get to see LO in a lot more ultrasounds now, which is a positive thing. Hugs!

[katfco]

Praying for you! I'm sure everything will be fine.

[katie]

I hope you are immune and all is well! Lots of hair pats.

[thedahliharpa]

That's super stressful! I'm sorry but hope you get good results soon!

[shmoo]

I hope you are immune, good thoughts headed your way
