Chicken pox

I'm 20 weeks pregnant, today I was exposed to chicken pox.  I have already had them as a child.  Should I be concerned?

Ive had the chicken pox 5 times they say you can get it until you have a serious case I would just be careful and cautious just incase because then you are even more prone to shingles

Not as long as your body built up the immunity to it when you got it as a child. I had chicken pox 3 times and it is very dangerous for me to be around anyone with it because doctors don't think I am immune to it.
