Question

coz i didn't know i was pregnant that time,i took some anti boitics coz i had my tonsilitis also and fever.

Answer 1

Chances are good that nothing will happen to your baby. However, there's a very slight risk of congenital varicella syndrome (characterized by poor growth while in the uterus, birth defects, including skin scarring, malformed limbs, an abnormally small head, vision or hearing problems, and motor or mental developmental disabilities).

Since you did have chicken pox, your ob will do a detailed ultrasound at 18 to 20 weeks to look for signs of problems and to make sure your baby is fine.

Now remember my first comment! Chances are good that nothing will happen to your baby. So please try not to worry!
Congrats on your pregnancy!

Answer 2

I had chicken pox at 10 weeks of pregnancy. Is my
baby at an increased risk for birth defects?
Most babies born to women who have chicken
pox in pregnancy are normal. However, 1-2 percent of the
babies whose mothers had chicken pox in pregnancy have
one or more birth defects due to the infection.
The virus that causes chicken pox infects the fetus
25 percent of the time. Sometimes, infection of the fetus
causes a pattern of birth defects called the varicella
embryopathy. The birth defects seen include scars, eye
problems, poor growth, underdevelopment of an arm or
leg, small head size, delayed development and/or mental
retardation. Some babies may have only one of these
problems while others have some or all.
The greatest risk for birth defects is when the
mother develops chicken pox between 8 and 20 weeks of
pregnancy. The risk for birth defects due to chicken pox
infection in the first trimester of pregnancy is 0.5-1 percent.
When chicken pox occurs between 13 and 20 weeks of
pregnancy, the risk for birth defects appears to be 2
percent.
Is there any test I can have in pregnancy to see if my
baby has birth defects from my chicken pox
infection?
During a targeted ultrasound, a doctor uses sound
waves to take a very close look at the fetus. Between the
18th and 20th weeks of pregnancy, the doctor may be able to
see limb defects and brain problems that may have been
caused by chicken pox infection. Usually several
ultrasound exams are needed to check for growth problems.
Sometimes the ultrasound can show extra amniotic fluid,
liver problems, or severe swelling of the fetus that the
chicken pox may have caused. Ultrasound cannot pick up
all birth defects that can be caused by chicken pox in
pregnancy.

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and just developed shingles.
Can shingle’s harm my baby?
In a large study of chicken pox exposure during
pregnancy there was no evidence of fetal harm in 366
pregnant women who developed the shingles.

Answer 3

Yes, it 's so risky. Try to eat more fruits rich in Vitamin C so as to regain your stamina. Then drink, at least, 10 glasses of water a day to cleanse your body. Last but not least, DO PRAY FOR GOD'S MIRACLE. Open your heart while praying and I am sure, GOD will heal you. AMEN.
