Hi doctor,
I'm 33 weeks pregnant. I have already caught chickenpox when I was 14 years old. My maid's son caught the virus 3 weeks back, but my maid says she already had chickenpox when she was younger. She found a few spots on her chest and forehead yesterday, no fever and no other symptoms as of now. Is there any chance this could affect me or my baby?

Yes you can be infected again
But since you have already been affected these variety will be much lesser
At 33 weeks the organs of the baby are well formed so the baby would not be affected
