im pretty sure my little one has them, and I’m worried im going to get it. I had it as a child but I have a compromised immune system..

I'd contact your GP to get advice for your specific situation - it's unlikely anyone here will be able to give reliable advice.

I'm sure op will contact her gp but usually they don't work on Sundays.
Perhaps someone will come along with experience.

All three of mine had chicken pox and like you I am on immunosuppressants, so immune system is low. I didn’t catch it at all. I had it when I was a young baby and never got it again

Thank you! I’ll be checking with gp too but that’s given me some reassurance this evening !

I caught it off my DS, but I hadn't had it as a child.

If you’ve had it as a child it is highly unlikely you will catch it again.
