chicken pox in pregnancy? catching it twice?

[ricschick]

hey guys im a little concerned as ive found a blister like spot on my shoulder, im not feeling to good either i have a sore throat and generally feel a bit crap, now my neighbours little girl has chicken pox and ive been in contact with her. now i have had chicken pox when i was a little girl about 4yrs old so was wondering has anyone gotten it twice and will it affect the baby if it is chicken pox??

Hey hunny....I dont think you can get chicken pox twice...I think you get shingles the second time around....but im not hundred percent sure so dont take what i say as 100% Im not sure about affects on baby. Why not give your gp or mw a ring and see what they say lovely. Hope you feel better soon.
