No: No, only if there is an active infection. Most people have had CMV and don't even know it. They just have a sore throat & fever.

No: A fetus is only at risk if the mother has a CMV infection during that pregnancy. The earlier it happens the more involved the infection would be. You are immune & your fetus will carry passive immunity for months after birth. It will likely get CMV later in life when it is a minor flu like illness.
