What is WeeCare? The claims and the disclaimer!
A topic for consideration might be Fifths Disease. I work in an elementary school and wasn't telling others about my pregnancy the first months. Turns out a student at school has Fifths Disease. The day I announced my pregnancy I was also informed to call the doctor to get tested. I had no idea about the virus that can harm my baby.
