Hi! I need your advice!! I am 21 weeks pg. I took my eight year old to the Dr. today due to a fever and sore throat and  found out that she has strep throat. What are the dangers if any, of me being exposed to and/or getting strep? Thank You!! Shannon

Hi
Pretty much the same as anyone else's risk from strep throat.

Use good handwashing techniques, and see your doctor if you develop a sore throat.  I am not aware of a particularly greater concern during pregnancy.

I hope your daughter feels better.  I had recurrent strep throats as a child and into my teens--it is no fun.

Thanks Christie! My daughter and I usually have strep twice per year. It is not much fun at all!! lol She hates a culture more than anything in the world!! But who doesn't, right? Thanks again! You eased my mind and made me feel much better! Shannon
