hummm, although this does rather suggest that taking her round the national gallery this morning may not have been one of my better decisions - sorry to anyone who was there & doesn't want pox blush

Damn, princessmel, that sounds rough - that's not what I want ... will paint on some extra tomorrow if none appear.

I'm confused, as I thought kids were also little gits a trifle unsettled in the days before pox, & have been waiting for the spawn of satan to appear smile

NO.

Ds1 had it with one spot and then much worse 1 month later.

No, no, that's NOT bad news - I am very keen to get it (have been rubbing her & her brother up against local pox-kids)

I'm hoping for semi-mild, F&Z smile

The first time dd had it she only had 2 spots. A year later she got it really badly
Same with ds but he only had 1 the first time.
But I'd expect more to appear on your dd overnight.

Could be very mild (my HV said this was possible, never heard of anyone getting off that lightly), or could be they're all going to pop out.

Remember DD1's came out overnight, after seeing just one or two in the morning.

Although I think its more normal for them to start on the body - dd's first 3 were on her chest, under her arm pit and on her back.

no, this'll be it
she'll probably have about 20 tomorrow
or some children have it very very mildly and only have a couple
but then I think you can catch it again, so I hope she gets a proper dose of it for your sake!
hope she is ok

Sorry to be the harbinger of doom but DD had 3 spots for the first 24 hours and I thought we'd got off lightly and then ping, ping, ping they all appeared....

See how she is tomorrow I think.

She was exposed to it less than 3 weeks ago, so have been waiting for it.
She has two spots (fluid filled) noticed about 9.30 this morning - one on her cheek the other on her face. I've been whipping up her top every two minutes, but nothing.
False alarm??

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
