[|Human|] 1 week ago I had contact with a couple of little girls that have chickenpox, I have already had that disease but today my family will meet to celebrate the new year and there will be some babies and one of my cousins is pregnant and she has not had chickenpox. I want to know if theres a risk of spread the disease to my family.
[|AI|]  Hi, If you have not had chicken pox before, or not taken the Varicella vaccine it is better to avoid contact with chicken pox during pregnancy. If you have the disease, you are immune to it, and will not get chicken pox. Chicken pox in the first seven months of pregnancy can affect the baby, it can cause the baby to have a lot of problems with development of brain, liver and spleen. Also, it can affect its hearing. After 28 weeks of pregnancy if the mother gets chicken pox, even she carries a 10 % risk of getting chicken pox (Varicella) pneumonia which can be serious in pregnancy. I would advise your pregnant cousin to avoid the gathering. Hope this helps. Regards.
