As your baby alredy  term, heart is alredy developed and mature so there is very less chance of baby's heart disease.  Rather if you developed  chicken pox 5 days before and 2days after delivery, there is chance of baby's chicken pox.
Next Steps
Need vericela zoster immunoglobulin for baby if you  have chicken pox 5days before and 2days after delivery.
