No, you dont have anything to worry about. I went through the same thing when i was 14 weeks pregnant.
So long as you're over 20 weeks, or have had the chickenpox as a child you and your baby are at no risk.
The virus will have no chance to set into your system because you already have the antibodies for it, so the virus never even makes it to the baby.
After the first 20 weeks the baby is better equipped to handle most sicknesses mom gets. Before then, the biggest risk is to the developing vital systems due to fever in the mother.
You're fine.

You don't have to touch someone that might have the chicken pox to get them. You can get them by simply being in the same room as them. Chances are you don't have to worry about the chicken pox however just talk to your doctor about it.
By the way even if you had the chicken pox as a child you can get them again as an adult it's called the Shingles. Very painful normally effecting the elderly or the sickly.

If you've had it when you were little you are probably immune. Also 5 months is not as dangerous for chicken pox as the first three months are. You could call your doctor and see what he/she thinks.

Nope nothing to worry about,
My son had fifths disease while i was pregnant, and i didn't get it,
and even if i had I was too far along in the pregnancy as you are.
The baby is safe.
Don't worry, plus as you said you had it already.

You don't have to touch them to get them. You can be in the same room and if you immune system is down you could catch them. Better tell your doctor to and let him know ahead of time.
