CMV infection during pregnancy? Anyone else experience this?

Ok, I'm 24 weeks pregnant with a baby girl and my husband and I have two beautiful, healthy boys. I recently tested positive for a primary CMV infection, the kind that is most harmful to the baby.

I am looking for experiences from other mothers who also found out that they had the infection and passed it on to their babies. I do NOT want answers explaining CMV or links to more websites, please just your own personal story so I don't feel so alone.

If have not had this infection please do not bother answering. It will just waste everyone's time.

Thanks so much!

Update:

I am booked for a c-section :)

    My CMV infection wasn't discovered until after I gave birth to my son by c-section. He has suffered no issues with relation to it except some hearing issues but there is no evidence that this was directly related to the CMV infection. From what I understand it is best handle if you do not give birth vaginally.
