There is a small chance of the baby developing a condition called fetal varicella syndrome (FVS). This can cause the baby to be born with serious abnormalities.
If you have chickenpox within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy there is about a 1 in 200 chance of the baby developing FVS.
If you have chickenpox between 13 and 20 weeks of pregnancy there is about a 1 in 50 chance of the baby developing FVS.
If you have chickenpox after 20 weeks, the risk of the baby developing FVS is very low, with no reported cases in women who developed chickenpox after 28 weeks of pregnancy.
If you have chickenpox within seven days before or after giving birth, your newborn baby may develop a severe form of chickenpox. Some newborn babies who develop chickenpox die from the infection.作者: 20080428 时间: 2012-8-7 14:32:52
