Oh Wendy! My mom had 12 with chicken pox at one time, and I was one of the two who had them already. I wanted to move away from home with all the whiney brothers and sisters. Four are of micronesian descent, so they had worst breakouts than the caucasian children, and were just miserable.
I was a child, so my sympathy goes to the mom who does all the work looking after them, and you were very pregnant at the same time. Bless your soul.

I had chickenpox 7 times. Each time was a lighter case. The Dr said I had to build up e resistance to it. My sister had it 3 times and my second sister her twin only had them once.
We got the shot for our son. And now we regret it. Now we know about the aborted Fetal Tissue that is used. Also they say now he may need a booster. When we got it they said would be good for life. They proved they dont know as much as they think. Now we do not know if he will get it when he is older and be in more danger. Our three daughters since then, have not had the shot. Before the third daughter was born the older two daughters had the pox and it wasnt to bad, we made it through it.

Good luck in healing up!! I had pox when I was 7, and my husband when he was 17. I defenitely had the easier time with it. The oatmeal bath is wonderful!! Hang in there!

None of my 6 children have had chicken pox yet. I wish we could come visit you guys right now. It doesn’t sound fun, but I think it’s better to get natural immunity to it. So do you skip all vaccines, or just certain ones?

I’m like the rest may I bring my 5 month over?? LOL I had them at 13 and it was a fun week off from school for me, my brother and baby sister.

When do they try and give your child this shot?? I want to make sure I go in to the office armed and ready to say NO!

I wish you luck and patience. My oldest son had them when he was still in diapers. Ugh!!! I did the oatmeal treatment too, but I put the oatmeal in an old sock and tied off the end so the oatmeal didn’t go down my drain and paste it up. He had a blast squeezing the sock and I didn’t have the big clean up afterwards. Now I am waiting for my youngest to get them (2yo). Joy.

Oh, can I bring my kids over? My oldest 2 had them a few years ago, but the three youngers haven’t (ages 1, 2, and 5).

Greetings Jeubs! Sorry to hear you are all spotted up, but better to get it over with now. My 3 oldest had them years ago (@ages 4,2, and 5 months) and their friend (who had the vaccine) had them also. I was forced to realize that I would have to get the vaccine for our newest baby because she would have no exposure to it, but now I think I won’t. thank you Schaefers for posting that info. The shot was brand new when my oldest “required” it, and I talked with my Pediatrician for 45 minutes about it. He told me if I wasn’t comfortable getting it for her now, we could wait and if she never got the chicken pox we could do the vaccine at 13, to protect her into adulthood. But everything I had read said it offers higher protection for adults, but not TOTAL.
We will be praying for you all, and Wendy. I know most Dr’s warn women against exposure to chicken pox and 5ths Disease while pregnant.

In Christ,
Michelle

Egh! I’m sorry your kids are sick with the chicken pox. I was 3 when I had mine and my mom said I didn’t even realize I had them when they came. Just make sure kids get a lot of orange juice and that they don’t scratch the spots. I heard that you can get infections from that.

Hope you guys get well soon.
