Hi all.
I'm a bit upset at the moment. Am 31 weeks pg. On Sunday I shook someone's hand who then announced he'd had shingles since Xmas. I was pi**ed off but wasn't particularly worried as I thought I'd had chickenpox, but I went for a blood test 2 days later anyway to check my immunity. In the meantime my parents said they thought they could remember me having it, so I relaxed more or less completely. Anyway, rang for the results today and they're completely negative, i.e. I'm not immune! I also don't have a current infection - yet - but 2 days isn't long enough to tell. Anyway, the doctor who'd done the blood test (not my usual one as he's on holiday this week) said he thought I'd be OK and I would only be given ZIG if I got ill - by which time it's too late though, isn't it?!? Rang the local hospital who said they wouldn't do anything without a referral from the doc and they don't have the ZIG in anyway. Feel pretty helpless and don't know what to do. Any thoughts anyone?
