my daughter is in nursery and the dreaded chicken pox is going round!! Millie hasnt got it, well not that i know of yet, but if she does get it can it be dangerous for me and baby? Ive already had them when i was a child but can it harm the baby? im really worried plz help

If you've already had it you can't catch it again, however you could get shingles which is where the virus has lain kind of dormant and flares up again. But don't worry about that, it's not very pleasant but doesn't harm the baby.

sorry I can't help. I'd check with your midwife or give NHS direct a ring though just to put your mind at rest x

Hey I was in contact with a little girl who had C/P when I was around 23 weeks and found this site helpful..
