Spoke to the doc and she didn't seem concerned since I was already so far along, and being a teacher for 7 year, she was sure that I had been exposed at one point or another. I told her about my 2 days of red face and burning arms, and she just like me said it was probably sunburn.
Well fast forward to Wednesday night....I get a call from her saying that my blood work came back and that 2 of my levels were elevated. Since they don't usually deal with that, she wants me to go back and see the perinatologist again.....great!
This morning after thinking about ALL DARN NIGHT....I called, and asked what exactly was elevated and she said it was my Paravirus B-19 levels, (that's the Fifths disease virus to us common people) and the perinatologist will most likely take more blood to compare the levels and make sure they are going down, and will do an ultrasound to check on my little girl.
My appointment is not till July 6th, and they don't seem worried, but are just following up as a precaution (read: covering their asses). So I'm feeling a little better, and have been doing my research...and praying and praying some more.
I will keep you all updated on the situation, right now I feel fine and I believe that me and my baby will get through this just fine, I'll just get to see her more often in ultrasounds.

Oh no! Hope everything is ok! What peri do you see? I had my last appointment with mine, Dr. Kirshenbaum today.
I'll be sending good thoughts your way just to make sure that you get your "clean-bill-of-health" confirmation asap! Stay positive - your intuition will guide you!
Well I'll say a little Prayer that the levels keep going down. Don't worry hun I'm sure it's just a precaution.
Thanks guys, I was really hoping that since this is my last pregnancy it would be as easy as my first 3...not a chance.
Heather: I saw Dr. Gallosious last time and I'm going to see Dr. Gaddipati this time, both in Mt. Kisco...
Praying for you both, especially for no more sleepless nights. You'll have plenty of those soon enough.

Oh no. I hope the levels are going down and that everything is ok. Big hugs, Anna.
