Does Chickenpox Infection During Pregnancy Cause Abnormalities In The Fetus?
Hi, My wife is 10 weeks pregnant. She has got infected with chickenpox 3 weeks ago. Will there be any problems for the baby? Should we choose to abort? She has hormonal problems to conceive, and one side fallopian tube is blocked. Can you please put some suggestion on this? Thanks, Simanta

Hi,
There are all chances of fetal anomalies when the mother is infected with chickenpox infection, depending upon the individual host response.
The consideration of termination of pregnancy has to be discussed in details with the treating OBGY.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
