Chicken pox and pregnancy

I’m 18 weeks pregnant tomorrow and tonight we think my little boy has started getting chicken pox, I’ve had it as a child. Has this happened to anyone else before and baby’s been ok? Is there anything I need to do or be aware of? Thanks!

I was worried a few weeks back as both my nieces ended up with it. Spoke to the midwife & she said to keep an eye, if you seem like you might be showing symptoms, to contact the doctor & they’ll prescribe you antibiotics x

You should call your midwife and they will get you in to take a blood test to confirm your immunity. (This happens to me last time)

My midwife told me that as long as I’d had it as a child I would be fine.
