Hand, Foot & Mouth Exposure

kbfash

FTM, caring for my 3 year nephew and I am pretty sure he has hand, foot and mouth. I have calls into his pediatrician and my ob exchanges but no response yet. Any other moms know?

The risks are pretty low to pregnant women, when past the 3 month mark, however if you notice a rash appear, then I'd ring your OB or GP. It's contracted through sneezes and coughs.

There's a chance you could be immune to it, especially if you had it as a child.

Hope this helps :-)
