I had chickenpox at 17 years old… Now, both of my daughters broke out in a rash overnight. I am pregnant and extremely stressed, and I’m afraid I might get infected again. Also, my husband just left yesterday for a work shift, so he was in contact with them, even though he never had chickenpox himself.

I understand how stressful this situation can be. Chickenpox is very contagious, especially in the first few days, and there is a risk of infection through contact with those who are ill. It is best to consult a doctor or visit a clinic immediately to find out if an immunity test can be done. They may also recommend preventive measures or additional protective steps. For now, try to avoid contact with the girls as much as possible and monitor their condition. The doctor will advise you on the best course of action moving forward.

Get tested for antibodies.

I wasn't sick, but on the day my child was discharged, I noticed a pimple on myself, and everything started... My husband wasn't sick either. He immediately started taking acyclovir. One pimple appeared, resembling chickenpox, and that was all. It itched for about three days, but no more.

There are still no options available. There's no point in being afraid.

If you have been ill, you have antibodies, even if only a little, and most likely enough to prevent illness. Your pregnancy is already quite advanced; the organs are mostly formed in the baby, so please don't panic.

My eldest son fell ill with chickenpox at the age of 14. (When he was little, I took him to my niece so he could catch it from her, but no, he only got sick at 14.) After him, my husband also contracted chickenpox, catching it from our son. They both had a very severe illness. Our youngest, who is 2.5 years old, did not catch it from either the older son or the husband. 🤷

Did you suffer from a severe illness or were you affected in a mild form? It's fashionable now to get tested for antibodies.

Olya I fainted several times, and I had a high fever with many rashes. Other than that, I don't really know if it's serious or not.
