So stressed...chicken pox exposure

[Littleluce83]

So we went round our friends Thursday night and got a text today to say their lovely little one has chicken pox. I know my brother had it when we were young but my mum was never sure if I did because I only had about two spots so this whole pregnancy we've been erring on the side of caution. I've asked for the immunity test twice before now when I've briefly come into contact with children who have it at school but was refused it by my doctors surgery, Now I've got to have the blood test tomorrow as I had prolonged exposure and I'm really scared if I'm not immune because I've read that an injection they can give you to stop you from getting it or to prevent it from being bad needs to be given in the first 72 hours after exposure. We're already past that. I'm already having three extra scans as I have Raynaud's disease and may have to have a cardiologist as well as a consultant involved in my pregnancy as I have tachycardia. This just feels like icing on the cake. I'm so worried

Awh sweetie, I'm sure you'll be fine! At least you know. Try not to worry until you have something to worry about, little one doesn't need it x x

Both my kids have just had chicken pox I was sure I had had them when I was younger but wasn't 100% I spoke with my midwife and they were able to check my booking bloods for immunity fortunately I was immune try not to worry as 90% of adults are immune.

My sister only got one spot when she was little and has never contacted them again. It was enough to give her immunity. If she wasn't immune she would have got them for sure again as her own kids have had them.
