    Shingles - Pregnant Woment

    I did. Not sure how far along I was but no issue for the baby. It can be an issue of you are full term and the rash/blisters come into contact with the baby as they can get Chicken Pox. I didn't take the medication as I try not to take things during pregnancy.

    Thanks for your reply!
    I wanted to stay away from medication too, but the doctor told me that I need to take them.

    You don't have to take them that Dr is stupid. I've had shingles in both my pregnancies and it's fine to babies not born. And did not take the medication because I don't like to take meds when pregnant either.

    Hi,
    I just got my results from lab and it seems that I didn't have shingles...it was herpes simplex(type 1).
    Anyways...it was good because the doctor took a sample and send it to lab.
