OH my.. I didn't even realize there were things we could so easily be exposed to that could hurt our unborn children.  I'll pray for you..

Hopefully it is just scare and everything is okay.. of course let us know as soon as you hear back from them.

they were for fifths disease which I was exposed to as it is going around in my school.  It can cause m/c due to anemia in fetus.  I hope I don't have it... but we will see...
