Anyone been exposed to Fifth's Disease while pregnant? What did your OB say/do and did it affect you in any way?

I was exposed this past Sunday...was around two kiddos who had it...one of who's hand I held briefly. My daughter now has a cough and I'm paranoid lol.

Called the OB and the office said that most adults are immune to it as they had it as a child.  Said that there's nothing you can do but practice good hygiene and to call if I develop a fever. Uh...
