From what I read online you should see a dr to be safe.
"~ If chicken pox occurs within the first trimester than the risk of birth defects is 0.5-1 percent "
So the chances are very slim, but still get checked to be safe.

Yes you should tell your doctor immediately cause that's my case too and when i was pregnant my doctor kept me away from the child who had chicken pox cause it might affect you and the unborn baby, ask your doctor what to do right away

Go and see your doctor asap. My childs teacher was pregnant when her class all came down with chickenpox. There is stuff that can help reduce the risk, but it has to be started early so make that drs appointment!
Get the facts on the chickenpox vaccine, treatment, causes (varicella zoster virus, VZV), symptoms and signs (itchy, red rash).
