[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 394048, member: 4264"] A website has a post from a board certified OBGYN: You need not stay away from people with shingles or chicken pox if you're immune. Your doctor can do a simple blood test to tell whether you're immune or not. If so, you're OK. If not, ask your doctor about immunization if you're in early pregnancy Apparently being immune is pretty close to a given if you had chicken pox or shingles in your lifetime. I would think you'd be okay, although if you haven't had chicken pox I would speak to my doctor. Sounds like a blood test can determine immunity. [/QUOTE]
