"If a pregnant woman gets hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), there’s normally no risk to the unborn baby, as complications are rare.

Hand, foot and mouth disease is rare in healthy adults, so the risk of infection during pregnancy is also very low.

However, if you develop hand, foot and mouth disease:

    during the first three months of pregnancy - there is some limited evidence that, in very rare cases, this may result in miscarriage
    shortly before you give birth - the infection can be passed on to your baby

Most babies born with hand, foot and mouth disease have only mild symptoms. On rare occasions, complications can affect the baby’s organs. Occasionally, these complications are severe.

When to get advice

If you develop any type of rash when you’re pregnant, contact your doctor or midwife. If you think you've got hand, foot and mouth disease, seek their advice."

The only thing you are at risk for is getting a bad cold from it you will not get the blisters but I'm not sure if it'll effect your baby. I only know this because kids at the daycare I worked at there dad was a Dr. And told me
