Chicken Pox incubation period

5 replies

twoshakes · 16/04/2010 14:56

DD & DS are on day 19 since being exposed to chicken pox (with no symptoms as yet). I know the incubation period is 10-21 days but I'm just wondering - if a child is going to get it is it more common to develop it at 10-14 days? I just want to know if we've got away with it this time really, or if I should still be on spot alert!

DS got it on day 10. I think you've got away with it.

DS2 got it exactly 14 days after DS1 did. YOu might be alright!

Ds was 14 days after contact, DD was 21 days after that and DS2 was 21 days after her......

dd1 came out in spots 4 weeks ago - dd2 got her first spots today. So I suspect dd2 didn't catch it off her sister but off one of the other wee ones in her nursery.
