@pteliza13, they aren't contagious unless you touched them.

You had to have physically touched the open "sore". Went through the same thing earlier in my pregnancy with a family member. They are pretty hard to catch honestly. Unless you bath the person. @pteliza13

I had to touch her to put the blood pressure cuff on

Did you see any shingle spots when you did that? Cause that's when they are contagious. Just like chicken pox, when the "sore" is open. And just started. @pteliza13

anytime a pregnant woman is exposed to the varicella-zoster virus, the doctor/OB/midwife should be notified. if exposed and contracted, the virus can cause viral pneumonia in the mother and unborn child. I'm a lab tech btw, and test for this virus all the time in the lab
