um if you're not a doctor then don't tell her its contagious. stop making her worry by saying she can get it. don't stress a pregnant women out more then she needs too lady.

Parvo is contagious.. it can effect children and pregnant woman because your immune system is lower. It is nothing more then a flu... if you aren't sick yet then you likely won't be. It isn't going to hurt your baby! Stay hydrated and call you doc if your concerned.

We bought her in mexico and had her 1st set of shot she is now 7 months and now she has to be fighting parvo. The doctor scared me sayin how it's more contagious towards me since I'm pregnant. :(

Parvo is NOT contagious... and as long as the baby isn't eating the dogs poop, you should be just fine with the worms. Hope your puppy pulls through, parvo is rough. I would find whoever you got her from and let them know ASAP
