1st Trimester

Hand foot and mouth

I just took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. I've scheduled a confirmation appointment two weeks from now. Just yesterday my second child developed a rash and has had a fever. I thinking it is Hand, foot, and mouth disease, because one of my oldest daughter's friend had it two weeks ago.

Now that I'm newly pregnant, should I be worried? Of course it's Saturday and the ob/gyn is not opened. Amy advice would be great, I will be calling on Monday.

    I would be shocked if your OB didn't have an after hours nurse line. Call them if you are concerned.

    I'd try calling their number and I'm guessing it'll direct you to an after hours line as pp stated.
  • Agreed - please call your doctor.

    I really hope it's not HFM and that it passes quickly. Poor kid.

  • I got HFM from my son last year after he started daycare, it was miserable!  Have you ever had it before?  Like as a child?  I never did....

  • My oldest had it when I was pregnant with my second, and had it again over the Christmas holiday. I didn't catch it either time. I would call your provider though. Calamine lotion for the itching and ginger ale if he has sores in his throat helped my little guy a few weeks ago. Hope he's doing better soon!
