A member asked:
My sister is pregnant and she got the chickenpox. is this dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not for most: Depending on how far along she is, there may or may not be an issue with baby. A percentage will show some skin or other skin findings at birth that appear like scars. CPX is most dangerous to both if it occurs during the days leading up to delivery or just after delivery. Severe maternal and fetal/neonatal disease is possible.
