anyone know about chicken pox????
hey ladies,
i took my 5 yr old to school this morning to discover half the class is off with chicken pox,
i`ve had them, but my son hasnt yet and has been in close contact with the kids who have gone down with it. should i be worried or not?
sorry to sound like a worry wort, but i only know your supposed to stay clear for the first 3 months, but after that i`m not sure.
any advice would be great,
thanks

they say it can cause problems first 3 months and last 2 months (as baby can be born with them), but you said you have had them so this dramatically reduces the risk of your baby getting them.
as far as you 5 yo goes, just keep an eye on him, you never know he might not even get them.
i`m 36 weeks today, and not due to see my midwife til next week, tho i was supposed to be going with my son to a pregnancy group today and just phoned up and cancelled on the off chance i passed it on to any other poor mums.
apparently most of the kids were fine yesterday in school and became spotty over night, so i guess the bug has been floating about for around 3 weeks already.
just worried what happens if my son does get them now?
thanks
