I'am 10 weeks pregnant and on day 10 of
having the mumps.... 8 days ago i went to
the hospital and had bloods taken also i
was given a scan and baby was fine.....
Seeing as my mumps have not yet gone and
im suffering with no salvia and more
swellling i'm to have another scan on this
coming Tuesday............ How worried
should i be ? How will this affect my
unborn baby ? Should i be freaking out
this much ? This will be my 5th child and
i'am 35 years old. Also how long should
this be lasting ? Dr said it is lasting
longer because being pregnant my immune
system isnt so good............ but im
sick of being sick ~pout~
Thanks for any help you can offer

pregnant with mumps Posted: 04-30-08 08:02am
i read that if you are in your first 12-16
weeks of pregnancy and you have the mumps
it gives you a slightly higher risk of a
miscarriage, however there is no evidence
that mumps can cause birth defects like
the measles or fifth disease!! if you
doctor has told you the baby is alright,
then he's more than likely right!!! =) but
since it does give you a greater risk for
miscarriage then you should take it easy
until you pass your 16th week!!! good
luck!!
