    chickenpox and pregnancy

    I had a friend come over on Saturday with her girls and they played and hung out for a while.
    Today she has messaged me that she took one of the girls to the Dr yesterday as she woke up with spots. The Dr says she may have a mild case of viral chickenpox as they are not blistered just a few spots.
    I have a midwives appt today so I will mention it but I know I have had chickenpox when I was 17.
    Should I be concerned though as I googled it (why do I do that???) and I may not be immunised after all because apparently it is common to get them more than once.

    Didn't they test your immunity to it in your 1st trimester?

    My doctor did and i found out i have no immunity so i have to be really careful.

    I dont know if they did or not. I kinda get a bit blase' about all the blood tests and what they are for. I just rock up and present my arm
    If its a common thing then I guess they did and she will be able to tell me today. Thank you for that.
