Came across this CMV thing while reading and got a little worried since I have a toddler at home too. Where does it even come from? im in my first trimester and just want to understand it better, planning to ask my doc also.
CMV is a virus, you can catch it through contact with someone's saliva, urine etc, often from small kids. If you are worried about it pls talk to your gynac, she can advise testing and precautions properly.
Its a common virus that many people already had without knowing. The concern in pregnancy is if you catch it fresh. Honestly this is one to discuss with your doctor rather than reading random stuff online.
From what my doc told me, daycare kids are a common source since it spreads through their fluids. Simple thing she said, wash hands well after changing diapers or wiping noses, dont share their spoon. Practical and easy to follow.
