First, calm down. Stressing out is not doing anything to help you or your baby. Second, call your OB and see if they believe there is any concern. Likely, they'll keep a closer eye on you for a week or two to make sure you're not at risk for mc.

Yea, call your doc and get a blood test.  We had an outbreak at the school I teach at a few years ago, and two pregnant teachers came in contact but were fine!

Definitely call your Dr. and get a blood test.  There was an outbreak at school when I was pregnant with DD and I got it.  I had to go in for weekly ultrasounds for like 8 weeks to make sure everything was okay with the baby.  It is a greater concern if it is contracted before 20 weeks, but most people have already had it and are immune (I unfortunately was not).  Everything with my daughter was fine and we got to see a whole lot more of her than most people do.  As long as your doctor knows then you can take the necessary precautions and everything should be fine.

My daughters daycare had an outbreak too. They had said about 70% of adults are immune to it since we were most likely exposed to it as kids. Im sure you will be okay :)
