Any infection or virus that goes through your system can affect your unborn baby.

There is no excuse for a doctor to not take questions such as this seriously. I would suggest that you interview for another pediatrician before your next child is born. You should always feel respected and have your questions taken seriously with any physician. Scarlet Fever is generally a reaction to a toxin that can be found in the bacteria that causes strep throat. It should not be harmful to your baby even if you get strep throat as well. I suggest you contact your obstetrician for sure, but I think everything will be fine.

As far as the effect on your unborn child -- there should usually be none. First, you probably would not even develop a strep infection, as the disease is not nearly as contagious as other infections. Second, even if you do get strep throat, you may not get scarlet fever, because some people develop immunity to the toxin. Third, even if you do get scarlet fever, it can promptly be treated, preventing any serious complications in you or in your baby

Your doing the right thing by going to the doctor just to be safe. But usually the worst part of being sick while pregnant is you really have to just tough it out since you really can't take all of the medicines that you could if you weren't pregnant. I had the stomach flu twice with this pregnancy and it sucked but i got through it and me and baby are doing great. Hope you feel better soon!
