A member asked:

Can catching fifth disease during third trimester cause problems for baby at birth, ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rare: Fetal complications from exposure to fifth disease or parvovirus are rare in the 3rd trimester. Have you had a test to see if you've been exposed? Your doctor can perform a blood test to see if you have been exposed.
