Kostya complained this morning that his legs were itchy and he had little bumps. I didn't get too close because of my pregnancy, but my husband noticed the rash seemed to be in patches. I'm taking him to the doctor now. Our son already had chickenpox. He was at a kids' play place yesterday and was around other children, but I don't know if it could have appeared this quickly. We're waiting to hear from the doctor. I hope it's nothing serious. And I'll probably have to send him to one of his grandmothers if it's contagious and could harm the baby I'm carrying. Ugh, it feels like our family has never caught so many illnesses one after another... I'm still recovering, my husband has some kind of weakness, and now Kostya... Knock on wood, I just hope Sasha doesn't get sick too.
I've already written that I was prescribed an antibiotic. I understand that, but I forgot to ask the…

That's unlikely to be from yesterday... 21 days, so you would have had contact within the last 3 weeks. If you had it as a child, it's not a big deal, but if not, it's not good, it's a bit risky

Rimma I doubt it's chickenpox. Kostya already had it this spring. Sasha had it about two years ago, and Kostya didn't catch it from him then. I took care of both of them and didn't get sick. I don't think I've had it, but maybe I was asymptomatic. Kids with chickenpox were brought to my work (a children's library) by their moms (brilliant, I must say), and I still didn't catch it.

Besides, chickenpox wouldn't start in the legs.

Rimma I know, my friend got it for the second time at 40. I've just never heard of chickenpox that only breaks out on the legs. We'll see, I'm waiting for news from my husband.

Rimma When you registered for prenatal care, did they do tests for antibodies to chickenpox, rubella, and toxoplasmosis?

Rimma So I think they only gave them to me at the screening (I had papers about rubella in my tests), and that was on Friday. I don't have the results yet.

Rimma If only you could know the result, whether you have antibodies.
And the chickenpox rash is specific, watery blisters. It's most likely something else.
Once, in school, a girl got scabies 🫣 she caught it on the trolleybus

False alarm, mamas. The doctor said there were no bumps, that he just sweated overnight and everything is fine with the baby, it's not a rash. Phew, two worried mamas. But better safe than sorry, right? Wouldn't want to send a contagious baby to daycare.

Rimma That's great! What kind of rash was it? An allergy?

Rimma No. He got sweaty. By the time we saw the doctor, there were no redness or bumps.
