CMV & pregnant with 2nd child
Marie
Hi!
I got my blood test results today. I'm pregnant but I don't have antibodies for CMV.
How do you handle it with your first child? My son is 2.5 years old and loves giving mom kisses. I find the idea terrible that he can't do that anymore (hormones :ermm
and I don't want to make him feel like he's not as important now that mom is pregnant again.
So if anyone has tips or knows how you deal with it, that would be super nice!

Hey Marie,
Totally relatable. What I did:
I gave kisses on his forehead/head. I explained to our son that mom wasn't allowed to do that for a little while because of the doctor. But that I would give him extra lots of cuddles. He was really happy with that :-) . I definitely wouldn't do it on the jaw or the mouth. And sharing spoons or drinking from the same glass is also a big no-no..
But most importantly, wash your hands often. And I bought disinfectant gel at the pharmacy. I always had it in my bag. I was constantly disinfecting :-)))
In the end, I didn't get pregnant.
Good luck with it!
