I was around my niece a couple weeks back and she got slapped cheek, I called my GP and spoke to my midwife and they both said they worry a lot more about it when you’re 12 weeks and under due to the baby developing. They did do a blood test for me to check if I have antibodies and slapped cheek (I didn’t) so it may be worth calling them in the morning to get one booked in - I think they said they treat with fluid and paracetamol - hope you feel better but I wouldn’t worry too much as you’re in the third trimester 😊

I thought I was exposed earlier on in my pregnancy as well! I’d definitely call your GP and they should get you booked into some blood tests right away and will take any other precautions I’m sure!
