Chicken Pox/Shingles and Pregnancy

[Junglemum]

i too had shingles when pregnant and was advised exactly the same as Holly.

I would think it would be highly unlikely that you would get chicken pox off your work mate. Firstly, you will have some immunity as you have had CP as a child. And secondly you would have to have direct contact with a chicken pox lesion, which is unlikely unless you go and visit her daughter.

So i don't think you should worry at all.

You ladies are legends. Thank you.

Oh, and I don't have skin-to-skin contact with my clients, but I was thinking more about them breathing on me - not because my clients are grotty, but cause you never know what illnesses people have. Anyway, no more paranoia for me
