Daughter with potential hand foot and mouth
Hi All,
Bathed my daughter just now and she has little spots on her knees, feet and elbows (one spot on her mouth). She's had chicken pox before, which is why our suspicion is hand foot and mouth. She's had no fever or temperature prior to this though.
I can't really isolate from my daughter, plus chances are if it is this then I already have it.
Anyone been in a similar situation? Any ideas what I should do?
I'm 38+1 today

Me myself my son has gotten hand foot and mouth and I’m 38 weeks today. And I can’t isolate from him either
He’s got. Blocked nose
My partner too has got a cold and sore body
Honestly
I’m just giving him more fluids and treating it as cold at the moment
Same here in 37+2 , my daughter is 2yo and has hand foot mouth this is maybe day three Im just giving in, giving her all she needs from me. My doc said not to worry chances are you already have antibodies and if you don’t it’s not dangerous for you nor the baby. Worst than can happen if you spontaneously give birth between now and recovery is baby will be checked and monitored. Also doc said more contagious before symptoms start and when the spots come the fever usually goes away and by day 2 of spots child is no longer contagious.
I don’t have any antibiotics atm I’m just giving him calpol and lots of fluids
oh right
Thank you sooo much
This is a relief atleast
Yeah, my daughter had HFMD starting 1 week before my booked induction. I was asymptomatic. Unfortunately, my hubby started to show signs just before my induction.
Overall, we are all good, no signs of HFMD for my newborn yet. Keeping an eye on things and hoping that I passed on antibodies before giving birth to him 💚🤞
omg I’m so sorry that’s what I’m facing rn
Hopefully it all goes before next week
