Will Contracting Glandular Fever During Pregnancy Harm The Baby?
Hi, i am 34, average weight/height, 13 weeks preganant, and Hep B carrier.. My colleague has been diagnosed with glandular fever, she was coughing quite a bit next to me before she went on medical leave - poor thing is having a really bad one.. i am concerned if i might have caught it, and what it would do to my foetus? how dangerous is it for the baby? i heard high fever for long period of time might cause miscarriage..? thank you

Hello. What is Glandular Fever?
