Parvovirus in pregnancy. Heard of it?

Hello, Hello... Just wondering how many people are aware of the dangers of parvovirus during pregnancy.  I delivered my sweet baby @ 22 weeks,  he had lost his heartbeat.    Results showed parvovirus is to blame. I had all of the symptoms but no diagnoses. Anyone familiar with this? AKA "fifth disease" or "slapped Cheek" it is a known cause for fetal loss (once you start digging for info) but apparently is not common knowledge.
