Well I'm just back from the Doctors, I thought I had an ear infection but turns out its mumps.
She wasn't too sure of the effects of mumps on pregnancy and is going to phone me this afternoon.
I'm really worried I've just yahooed it and the chances of mumps in pregnancy are 0.8 to 10 in 10000 pregnant woman. Apparently it can also increase the risk of miscarriage but thats a direct effect of the fever.
I think if I try to keep my temperature down then that might reduce the risk.
I'm scared now.
