What Are The Risks Of Chickenpox During Pregnancy?
I m 25 yrs old and 18 weeks pregnant. I had severe chicken pox two weeks back. Took antiviral medicines for 5 days: Pantocid-40, Herpekind 400, Leveen, Parasafe, Taxim 200 and Tantrum Liquid for gargling. I have no previous history of pox and even I am not immunised. Today s (II Obst.USG) Anomalies Scan shows all parameters of the foetus are normal? Still I am worried: Is it safe to continue the pregnancy? What could be its effect on Foetus? What are d other tests to be done to see its viral effects on foetus?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, chickenpox does not cause anything wrong with the foetus in baby, so this is nothing to worry and no need to go for any test, hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
