Answer 1

I would make an appointment with the pediatrician on Monday and give your OB a call. Usually when a viral infection breaks out into a rash... it is no longer contagious. I would try oatmeal soaks if your little one is itchy.

You should be fine if you don't have any signs of illness. At 39 weeks .. you should be fine.
