Any experience with hand, foot & mouth while pregnant

My LO has had HFMD this week and she's been miserable, poor thing. I know it's not common to contract it as an adult, especially if you had it as a child (which I did). However, I'm having some symptoms that could be HFM: low grade fever, sore throat. No blisters yet. I'm sure I could have something else, there are plenty of bugs going around. Anyone had HFM while pregnant or been exposed to it?

Would you call your OB? I'm not sure I want to bother the on call at 7pm on Saturday.

    Yes call OB- when dd had it her pedi said it's dangerous to women in the first tri and may lead to higher miscarriage rates. Not to freak you out, but it's good to know!
