Pregnant, should I expose my dd to Chicken Pox?

[northcountrymamma]

Does anyone know if it is a bad idea to expose my dd to a child with chicken pox as I am pregnant. I am 7 weeks and had them as a kid pretty bad.

I have sent a message to my midwives but haven't heard back...apparently only a day remains to get them as many of the sores are crusting over...

Many thanks...

(hopefully this is the right spot for this)

Hi, if you've CP, there is no harm. If you aren't sure, get antibodies tested to see if you have them. Has your partner had them?

Since this is about illness exposure rather than vaccine I'm moving to H&H.
