My wife has 5 weeks left in her pregnancy, but now our other son has got the chickenpox.?

Question

Can she be around him, or will it harm our unborn?

Answer 1

Call a nurse at your clinic

Answer 2

If your wife has had chickenpox, she and the unborn baby will be fine. The mother's immunities stay with the baby for a few months. I was in the same boat when I was about 2 weeks away from my due date with my second son - my oldest got chickenpox.

Answer 3

if she already had the chicken pox she and the babe should be fine but still dont let her be around him to much just for the fact of being pregnant, cause you never know what could happen, but its not like you have to trap her or your son in a room away from each other and also you shouldve taken him to a pediatricin to get some kind of antibiotic and you can ask him or her about it, hey you should bring your son to my house so that my son can get the chicken pox all done and over with hehehe j/k good luck and congrats on the new to come baby

Answer 4

If your wife has already had the chicken pox she should be ok. I think that the majority if the concern is her getting them and being sick with them while she is pregnant. You should still contact your doctor to make absolutely sure. And with what eveyone else is saying about keeping your son away....Hes been contagious for awhile before the sores apperared, Your best bet is to call Doc and find out becausee there are alot of other measures they can take to keep your wife healthy.

chicken pox before she will be fine, the one thing u need to worry about is that if uve had chicken pox you can get shingles when ur older, plus ur son was actually contageous 2 weeks before he got his first spot hes now not contageous any more probably just very itchy, get ur wife checked out just to make sure everything is ok there is no antibiotic against chicken pox but they may be able to prevent shingles that can be bad for any1 let alone mother and baby good luck

Answer 7

We were in the same situation when our youngest was due, apparently it can be harmful to the baby in the later stages of pregnancy if your wife has not had them (my wife could'nt remember so she had a blood test which proved she had it). A visit to your doctor or midwife should put your mind at rest.

Answer 8

I would speak to your doctor ,I had chicken pox when I was pregnant, the baby was fine but when she was 9 months old she had shingles, we have been told she will never have chicken pox but she will get shingles instead which she has had 5 times she is now 16.

The others are the main suitable option, he's a loser and intensely egocentric, throw him out, see in the adventure that your mothers and dads assist you to progression back in until you may get your existence straighten out. men are super to have around that can assist you to advance your loved ones, yet men who're in simple terms donating sperm, yet not prepared to help out with all of the different issues that it takes to advance a kinfolk and be a daddy, are not genuine men. in case you have get right of entry to to his telephone, pull his textual content fabric messages, any photographs, etc... from his archives and take those to the police (would would desire to touch the telephone company right now for a number of this suggestion). What he's doing (if he's having intercourse) is unlawful and he would desire to bypass to detention center. All he's doing is messing up yet another ladies useful he did with you. i does not be too disillusioned with the 15 365 days previous, she in simple terms isn't sufficiently previous to understand what is going on.

Answer 11

chicken pox has an incubation period of 14 days so your wife has already been in contact with him as has your unborn child , u should really call the midwife or gp ... if i recall correctly it wont harm your unborn child as she is past the all dangerous 12 week period... but call just to be on the safe side !
