Immunity to chicken pox - does it last?

Last time I was pregnant, 3 years ago, I was exposed to chicken pox. I didn't think I had ever had it, so I had a blood test, and they confirmed that I did have antibodies to it, so no need to worry.

Now I am 36 weeks pregnant and just found out last week I (and DD, age 3) got exposed to chicken pox again. Is it likely that I still have antibodies - do I need to see the Dr or have a blood test again?

How about DD1, if she gets it will it be dangerous for the baby when it is born?

Thanks

no - once immune always immune and baby will be fine
