Anyone know anything about

Chicken Pox? Like being around kids who have it? I know that even if you have had them you as a pregnant woman can get shingles. What about like my H being around a kid that has it and comes home to me. Or if the parents of the kids are around me or if I have the baby and the parent was to come to the hospital?

dicey.

Ask the ped, but she might say, "stay away." 

my Grandmother in law had shingles- ALL doctors told me to stay away from her, and the people who had chick pox immunity could go between her and I. I think we were told 20 feet maximum proximity. 

You ok?

Oh yes I am fine. My SIL had 3 kids and they have the pox. She is not the smartest person and I know she will come up to the hosp to see the baby but I dont want her anywhere around me or the baby. AS well as she lives next door from my MIL and FIL (they are on vacay and wont be back timm Fri) But if they see the kids and think they are coming to see me they wrong.

Hmm.  The only thing I know about this is I had the chicken pox when my brother was born.   He wasn't allowed to come home from the hospital until I was all cleared up, but my parents and older brother were allowed to be around both of us (they'd all already had it).

To be safe, I'd be ready to have your husband intervene...some people just don't understand.

I probably wouldn't risk it - shingles are not fun.

I already told him he is not to go anywhere around them at all. I said I dont care for what reason it is you have a baby on the way and if you dare put her at risk of anything I will kill you.

If her kids have it she shouldn't be stepping foot in the hospital, let alone going to see you.

And there is an issue with chicken pox if you haven't had it yet.  Not sure what it is exactly, but worth looking into.

Oh and I just saw that you asked about the pump in the post way below. I have been on the turbutaline pump since I was 21 weeks and it comes out today. It is meds that have kept me from having contractions and going into full blown labor.

At home and very happy about that. and yes I know we are at the ssfe point now and it feels so good to be here. And they have been saying anyday now forever with me. And I am still pregnant. But chances are very high now that I will not have the pump anymore.
 I love your siggy pic. The first time I saw it I did think she was real she looks like a doll.

Oh, yeah.  Despite what my parents did and my brother being fine, I wouldn't let anyone near the baby or me.
