Shingles?

Question

Anybody have a story about being exposed to shingles while pregnant? Did it cause any birth defects ?

Answer

What do you mean exactly by "exposed"? You either have it or you don't. Shingles is the virus that is stuck in your blood if you have had the chicken pox. If you had the vaccine you will never get either one.

Answer

Yes, I see 25-30 patients a day. I'm in a speciality so shingles is not something we treat but I've had about a half dozen patients tell me they have shingles once I'm already in the room. So far baby is growing normal so I'm not concerned. Gloves and hand washing!!
