How do I find out if I've ever had chicken pox? (parents can't remember!)?!


Question:

How do I find out if I've ever had chicken pox? (parents can't remember!)?

My hubby and I are thinking about having another baby (we have a 2 yr. old daughter), and this time around we're actually trying to plan it a little better. =) Anyway, I've heard that getting chicken pox during a pregnancy can be very serious, and my parents can't remember if I ever had them...my brother said he had them in 1st grade, so I would have been 2 years old and I don't remember if I got them too. Any advice?


Answers:

your dr can do get a test done that will tell you..... and if no antibodies are detected to varicella then they can give you the vaccine...problem solved.
