Thanks Everyone for your feedback...

Just a quickie for Alan or Nicole

If I was to give birth whilst having chicken pox - could i assume the baby will also have it??

and if this is correct - what are the side effects for the baby?? and what is the treatment?? this is probably what i am most concerned about - I'm not so much worried about me, more so for the well being of bub.

also where you say "in contact' - that means touching and saliva right?? - not just hanging around in the same room breathing the same air con air...

also - at what point if I was to have caught this dreaded disease would i start to feel yuk??

also i read somewhere that as long as I have the condition for at least a week I would have accumulated enough antibodies to pass onto to baby and that they would become somewhat immune - is that right or is that just confusing??

thanks again
