well just as i was beginning to get excited that my little lady is on her way, my middle son has come from school with chicken pox - grrrr!!!!!

Ds1 has caught it before, ds3 has never had it - like most things whilst its fine for little people generally and quite mild, its dangerous for newly pregnant women and new born babies! Looks like i'll be trying to keep my legs crossed for as long as possible although no idea what we will do as ds3 is bound to catch and its a 2-3 week incubation period - there is no way i'll be that late and a newborn with chicken pox sounds really scary - why is nothing ever straight forward

[Mommyof3boys]

My ds2 got the chicken pox when he was just a couple of months old. He ended up doing just fine. It actually ended up being pretty mild because he was too young to actually scratch.

[Mrs_P]

i've been looking on line most of the night, some people are saying its mild providing the mom is immune and breast feeding, some are saying it can be fatal if its caught properly and really dangerous for a newborn keep them well apart, so i have no idea what to think -

hoping ds3 comes out in spots over the next couple of days (first and only time i reckon i have/will ever hoped one of them catches something) so both boys are through the worst before she arrives - at least that way i can keep the apart if its only for a short time

Congrats P4P that's brilliant news!!!

Oh no Mrs P. That's worrying. I had shingles when DS1 was a few months old and you can catch chicken pox from shingles but he never got it and the dr said that the immunity can be passed through the breast milk. It can't be easy though for you having ill kids and then a baby. Hope it goes away quickly for you and the baby doesn't get it.
