Chicken Pox & pregnancy..

ju

So my 2 1/2 year old has a few spots and I believe they are chicken pox.

I know pregnant women aren’t meant to be around them; but bit hard when he is my Son! 😂

I am 25w2d.

I have a 7 year old Daughter who has never had them.

I’ve heard it’s worse for older kids to get them.

What is the reasons for not being around chicken pox whilst pregnant? It’s not going to harm me/baby really bad is it?

I’ve had shingles before as an adult and it was awful.

Also what are the chances of my 7 year old getting them?!

Am I in for a horrific few weeks.. 😩😩😩
