Parvovirus B19 Infection and Pregnancy?

Ok, so my DH just told me some "great" news...it seems one of his guys at work might have the human form of Parvo.  Which normaly wouldn't be any big deal execpt I'm 9w4d pregnant.  In most cases it's a mild illness that causes a rash and maybe some minor cold like symptoms, and children are more likely to get it.  Well DD has had a minor cold for a few days now, but no rash.  So if she has it there is a pretty good chance I'll get it or have it also.  If I do it could cause the baby to get severe animea or to have a miscarrage...so needless to say I'm a little freaked out.  Well DH's guy will find out tomorrow if that's what he's got.  I was just wondering if anyone else has had to deal with this while pregnant or knows of anyone who has.  I didn't even know people could get parvo until tonight.
