Section 01

Many women ask about the risk of getting chickenpox during pregnancy. First, make sure whether you have previously had chickenpox through your own memory and the memory of your mother and siblings, and more accurately by performing a Varicella Zoster IgG test.

Section 02

If you do not have immunity from infection, you should avoid anyone infected until their infection has ended and they are no longer contagious. However, if you get chickenpox in early pregnancy, this may lead to miscarriage or fetal abnormalities. If the infection occurs near the end of pregnancy, it is preferable to postpone delivery until complete recovery or until other infected people at home have recovered, because transmission of the virus to the newborn carries a high risk.
