hi, i had this happen to me just yestereday! luckly because your over 20 weeks i think your in the safe zone! have you had chicken pox before? because then you should be immune anyway. i rang my midwife who got hold of my bloods i had taken when booking in and had them rechecked to see if i was immune (wasnt sure if i had had it), luckly it came back i am and it only took about 5 hours to get the results!! the best thing to do is speak to your midwife but im sure everything will be fine, good luck and let me know how you get on

I had this too a few weeks ago, and exactly what tinkerbell said. If you've had it, then your baby is fine and your immunity will protect the baby. Also, as you're over the 1st trimester period, your baby is safer. Good luck!

Cant get throw to my midwife this morning so spoke to a different one who wants bloods off me today, altho i no i have bloods stored at the lab, so just waiting til mid afternoon see if i can get to speak to my own midwife.

Im not completely sure about this but i was told that the person with chicken pox was only contagious BEFORE the spots came out.

 

[tinkerbelll]

have you tried leaving her a message? or you could try getting your doctor to phone the midwife unit?

 

[fifi83]

I spoke to the midwife unit, who said go to gp for blood which my doctors are shut on a wednesday, but also no the lab have my bloods, altho if i dont get to speak toher tom i will go see my gp. Cos i bloody googled it lol, its too late for them to do anything and baby shouldnt come to any harm with me been so far on. But would like to speak to her to put my mind more at ease cos im paronoid and iching like blooming mad today all the head i bet.

 

[tinkerbelll]

i dont know why whoever you spoke to were being like that, youd think if shes a midwife shed know they've already got your bloods. i couldnt get hold of my 'actual' midwife so just rang the unit up and the lady was fantastic and she phoned me straight away as soon as she got the results as she knew how worried i was!
