My DD has developed a rash. I first noticed it during the middle of the week. It was mainly under her hair and chest so thought it may be a sweat rash so paid no attention to it.
Just got her ready for bed and noticed the rash has spread further down her back and is more raised from her skin and redder than it was.
She doesn't act ill. Occasionally complains of a headache yesterday said she had a tummy ache but it doesn't stop her playing. My mum and mother in law say the spots should be blistery. These aren't really. They are very small and red.
I am 34 weeks pregnant. If this is chickenpox how will it affect everyone in the family.( Had chickenpox as a child but a routine blood sample when i started my nurse training revealed no antibodies) I know DD will get chickenpox at some point in her life but does it have to be when I am nearly due to deliver.
