doc told me few days before spots come out until they scab over ,do they really know for sure though.?
my midwife said only time it can be serious in pregnancy is 1st 12 weeks and the last weeks ,if baby is born with them they have no antibodies to fight the virus and could be fatal.if my kids had them in that time frame id need a test to see if im immune .if not id need the vaccination x
evi is really upset she took her pj's off this morning and took the head off a big one on her forehead,she was saying mummy am i gonna scar for life hope she dont,she as them in her head and everywher x

try putting polysporin on it, it might not scar

iv never heard of that x

its a cream you put on cuts and burns to prevent infecdtin and help healing...its suppose to reduce the scarring too. maybe you dont have it there thou?!?

no they dont have it here..typical x

how about neosporin....its the same

dh just submitted a 5 page essay about chicken pox. and he said if your pregnant and get them it can cause major birth defects and is very dangerous.

yes for the 1st 12 weeks barbra and the last week incase baby is born with them,mums own antibiodies fight the virus to protect baby but cant in developing stages 0-12 weeks and obviously a new born baby cant fight it so can be fatal x

that is scary. i couldnt be calm period thats too much to worry about

your basically fine from 12 weeks to 39 x

there fine now hun,archie as no signs, there spots have scabbed over now ,they'v not really bothered with them,im just hoping evi's dont scar on her head xx

That's great, so glad they're doing better!! I'm sure they won't scar, and since she's so young, if they did I bet they'd fade pretty quickly on her nice young skin. But we'll hope not!

my MIL (shes a nurse) says when they are young that the scars fade cuz the skin renews itself better and it will cover the scars completly.
