A member asked:

If fetus has a virus, what is it likely to be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Whatever mom passed: A fetus can acquire any virus that circulates in the mothers blood during pregnancy. This can be something as simple as the flu, german measles, chickenpox, etc. The effect on baby depends on timing & the virus.
