Call your doctor or midwife, whomever is your LMC.
Give your ob/gyn a call. Here is some information on this: http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/pregnancy-week-by-week/expert-answers/chickenpox-and-pregnancy/faq-20057886 The risk depends on where you are at in your pregnancy (how far along you are) but is relatively low. Good luck hon

At 19 weeks, your risk is 2% for any complications. Remember that is a low percentage of risk but I know that still will worry you. Talk to your doctor sweetie. Let us know what they say!
