Is it dangerous to be around someone with Chicken Pox when I am pregnant?

It is only dangerous if you have not had chicken pox in the past. If you have then, you are immune. Many people who did not have it as a child were actually exposed and are also immune. If you are exposed to chicken pox while pregnant and you did not have it as a child then your doctor should test your antibodies to see if you are immune. If you are not immune then you need a shot called VZIG.
