I’ve googled it and couldn’t see any answers any advice would be appreciated

Hmm I’ve no idea but I’d assume you’d need to let the clinic know just incase. I hope it doesn’t affect anything 🤞 x

My little boy got chicken pox for second time when I was 4-5 week pregnant and the Dr (who was also pregnant) said as long as you have had it then shouldn't be an issue as you have immunity but I would always double check with your dr or nurse

There's a little outbreak at my school at the moment (I'm a primary teacher) and I hadn't even considered if it's safe for me. Let me know what you find out! x

I know In pregnant women kitcat it’s highly dangerous my friend was pregnant and her little boy got them and he had to go stay with his nan just be careful xx

I work in a nursery and we’ve had a few cases too! I contacted my midwife and she told me as long as I’d had them I was fine! Xx

My little boy got them when I was pregnant with my second. I was also told as long as I had them then it’s fine. I know there is a problem if you are around them a couple of weeks before a baby is born as the newborn could get them and that is bad. Someone did say to me that the first trimester is more of a grey area though so probably worthwhile checking with your clinic.
