Will Glandular fever affect my pregnancy?

Hope some one can help?
I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and now i have been diagnosed with glandular fever. The chemist and doctor said that it was uncertain if it does cause problems with the baby. How true is this?

Don't worry. You do not need to be concerned, infectious mononucleosis, as doctors like to call it, is not in fact very infectious (contagious) at all. It is not passed from one person to another like the common cold, and even family members in close contact with one another hardly ever catch it from each other. Glandular fever is much more commonly seen in the teenage age group As you have developed glandular fever, there isn鈥檛 even a remote possibility that the unborn baby could be harmed as a side effect of the illness, although in severe cases of glandular fever, the patient does sometimes develop mild jaundice with enlargement of the liver and spleen as well as the enlargement of the lymph glands.- In that case you would need to consult your doctor or paediatrician
