I'm pregnant and I have 2 kids (2 years, 8 months). The first one has chickenpox, could he infect my he other & my fetus? I already had the chickenpox

Dr. Dina Helou Pediatrics
Having had chicken pox as a child you are protected as well as your fetus.
As for your 8m child, he is at risk of getting chicken pox, and too young to be protected by the vaccine ( less than 12months of age).
try to separate both kids as possible and if he develops the first signs of the disease, contact your pediatrician as soon as possible, chicken pox can sometimes be complicated at this age.
