Is Shingles Exposure Harmful To One Who Is Pregnant?
I am currently 18wks pregnant and work in a home where someone just came down with shingles. Her dr told her to not be around anyone that is pregnant. I have had shingles already and was curious if that made me immune or if being in contact with someone with shingles harmed my baby. Could you please help so I can make arrangements for work.

HELLO DEAR ,
I understand your concern , dear once you had chickenpox in your childhood provides immunity , no need to worry baby will be fine or for confirmation you can go for IgG and IgM for VARICELLA , IgM indicate recent infection while IgG indicate you have antibodies and you are immune. ALL the best
THANKS
