A member asked:

What do you advise if i'm pregnant but the girl i work withs daughter has the chicken pox will that harm my baby i need to know ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely an issue: Tests show that even adults with no recollection of past Cpx are immune (96%) and those that are cannot get Cpx again (or pass it to baby).Your OB could do a blood test to confirm your status.Rarely, non-immune mothers have had Cpx during pregnancy or delivery. That is a specific issue your doctor would need to address.
