Talk to your doctor: If you have had chickenpox in the past, you are probably immune and new exposure is not harmful. If you haven't had chickenpox or had the vaccine, you may be at risk for chickenpox in pregnancy which can effect your baby. If you are exposed, call your doctor about your immunity.

See your doctor.: Depends on how pregnant you are. Early in pregnancy (first 3 months), there is very little chance that the fetus will develop chickenpox. Chickenpox later in pregnancy can be a serious problem for your baby, however. Even if you're early, you need to inform your obstetrician, who may wish to treat you with acyclovir.
