Chickenpox in pregnancy

[Mmmmcheese]

A lot of my friend's children have chickenpox at the moment and I'm worried that DS will get it soon. I'm 5 weeks pregnant and had chicken pox as a child but does that mean I'm 100% immune?

Would i have been checked for chickenpox antibodies when I had blood tests done with DS?

I don't think they check for it as a matter of course, but when I spoke to my GP about this, she said as long as i had it as a child, I would be fine.

We had a few cases of chicken pox at my school last term - I spoke to NHS direct and they assured me that as long as I'd had a reasonably good 'dose' of it when I had it as a child and my immune system wasn't impaired (i.e. cancer, HIV etc.) there was nothing to worry about.
and no, they don't routinely test for it with rubella, Hep B etc. but my midwife said she'd request it with my most recent bloods last time I went, so if you are particularly worried I'm sure they'll test you.
