Pregnancy and chicken pox

Hi, I'm four months pregnant with twins, and I've recently had contact with a baby who had chicken pox. Is this dangerous for me or the babies? I had it myself when I was a child. Thanks, Laura.

You've got nothing to worry about, because you had it when you were younger, you're immune to it.
