Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a concern during pregnancy because it can be transmitted to a growing fetus. Most babies born with CMV never show signs or have health problems, but some babies may be sick at birth or develop long-term health concerns later. Most people have never heard of CMV. Open communication and educating those around expectant parents can lead to a greater reduction of CMV. Know the risks. Learn about CMV at www.health.mn.gov/cmv #CMVAwarenessMonth
