    I know I got tested at my blood test for chicken pox (varicella) as it is one of the ones that is dangerous to contract during the first and third trimester. I wasn't immune with DD so I had the vaccination prior to getting pregnant this time and the test this time showed immunity.

    I know last time I had to be very careful about exposure to anyone with chicken pox int he first and third trimester. If you have your blood test results look and see the varicella result, if not call your OB or FS.

    I don't think much can be done if you haven't had it. Just steer clear of effected people. We have a similar situation with whooping cough, it's spreading .like wildfire through DD's school. Not happy jan. And everyone has been vaccinated. Im really peed that the vaccine is obviously not doing anything....
