Currently, I am 8 weeks pregnant and was exposed to the chicken pox a few days ago. While I had the chicken pox when I was a kid, I'm wondering if the virus can still be passed on to the baby? Would the virus even "make a stop" with me since I should have the necessary antibodies to prevent it? Have my antibodies been fully passed on to the baby this early in the pregnancy? I have done some research that states the danger is in actually breaking out with the disease, but what is the risk at simply be exposed to it?
