Help! I've just woken up covered in spots so it's likely I have chicken pox as i haven't had it before 9 i don't knwo how I managed to get away with it for 33 years) I'm worried the dd will catch it and she's only 3weeks old. she still doesn't have any spots and i'm Bf. I'm going to the GP this afternoon to get spme antivirals to make it milder for me hopefully and then I have an appointment with me peadiatrician for dd to check her. I thought she would def catch it if I have it but i've heard that this isn't always the case.
There's an outbreak at ds school but he had the chickenpox jab last year but he may have still carried it. I was about to get the jab but you can't have it until you've stopped bf.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, i know it can be quite serious in babies under 4 weeks so very worried! Also as an adult am I more likely to scar? Such a disaster, as if the sleepless nights weren't enough!
