Fifths Disease-Now I need weekly ultrasounds

After my DD had fifths disease last week I had to get bloodwork done and turns out it shows a recent infection.  I had an ultrasound yesterday and baby is fine but they want to see me for weekly ultrasounds to make sure baby doesn't become infected(could cause anemia in baby or hydrops)  so if they see signs of this it would mean early delivery.  The risk is supposed to be very low though but the weekly ultrasounds make me nervous on top of weekly OB visits starting next week.  I never would have thought that such a mild illness in my DD could cause such problems in pregnancy.

 I am thankful we even realized we had fifths disease since there were no symptoms with DD except for red cheeks.
