Chickenpox
So my boys have chickenpox and I’ve read if we come into contact with it while pregnant we should inform our GP. Has anyone else’s kids had it while you’re pregnant and what advice were you given? My GP can be a nightmare to get through to I’ve messaged my midwife as well for now.

Both my boys had it when I was around 14-16 weeks, my doctor said as long as I'd had it previously that I should be fine and not to worry but if I was to start coming out in a rash to phone up right away and they'd test me to see if I had the antibodies and if not then they'd give me treatment for it!

@Charlotte thank you, that’s so helpful! I’m taking one of my boys to the GP tomorrow now anyway as I’ve noticed a hard lump behind his ear and it seems tender so I’ll mention my being pregnant when I’m there

I should say I have had chickenpox as a child myself
