The chicken pox is a live-virus vaccine I think, which means that you could potentially contract it from her for a while after her immunisation. But it is only an issue in the first trimester. Once you are past that you are ok.

as far as i know if your child ends up getting a chicken pox like rash its not the contagious type. but just check with your GP before you get it done.

Wow I didn't even know there was a risk. I was still pregnant when DS got his done and the doc never even mentioned anything to me...

It's only an issue in the first and third trimesters and also only if you don't have immunity yourself. If you are immune then you will be ok.
