    Hi!
    I agree, If Dr is concerned I wouldn't worry myself too much. Chickenpox is only contagious till blisters come out. So your son is no longer contagious. Avoid scabs and liquid from blisters coming into contact as this can sometimes have active virus therefore be contagious. Try to isolate all contact such as kissing, towell sharing, bedding etc.
    HTH and good luck for the birth.

    thanks to both of you

    Thanks a lot for your concern, yesterday I met with my Dr, she asked to be alert next 14 days if there develops any sign of fever or rashes, though she assured that chances of contract are minimum & she showed my previous report of varicella immunization. My son who is going to be 6 next week looks really poor as he had so many plans for the newborn.......anyways, its life
    thanks again
