Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that can affect anyone. And once infected, your body retains the virus for life. However, most people don't know they have CMV because it rarely causes problems in healthy people.

And when the virus is developed during pregnancy, it can be passed on to the baby, who might then experience symptoms.
