Chicken pox and other yuckies
So Ive hit the 19 week mark :dance:
But last night when Dh came home from work he informed me that his bosses' daughter has chickenpox. Apparently they found out thursday night, after a drs appt. Besides last night and thursday night, the last time DH worked with his boss was the saturday before.
Then on top of that, the daycare centre that daughter goes to, a fair few people I know send their kiddies there too. Last week one of the kiddies who goes there was diagnosed with herpes, before the dr made that diagnosis the daycare centre had told parents that some of the kiddies had mouth ulcers. But no, turns out that the kids were sharing herpes!
Last night DH's boss kept his distance from DH because he knows that I have no immunity to chicken pox, actually I dont have immunity to anything. And thankfully DH had already told everyone when we announced sprouts impending arrival.
But now I suppose my question are hhow dangerous is chicken pox in the 2nd trimester? And how far should I isolate myself from this? I mean DH and I have already decided that it would be best for me not to see the families who have kiddies going to that daycare, but should I then stay away from other friends who have seen these families? (ie: a good friend is seeing one the friend whose little one has herpes today, should I then isolate myself from her too?) And how long would you isolate yourself from anyone?
TIA..
