It is advised that pregnant women who haven't had chickenpox and haven't had the vaccine avoid contact with anyone who has chickenpox as it can be fatal to the fetus or can cause birth defects. To be on the safe side I would check with your doctor.
A fetus infected from its mother by Varicella zoster virus may develop pocks that can cause limb deformities early in development.

∙ 13y agoAs long as the baby is in the womb it is fine and when having genital herpes it has to be a C-section. Otherwise there's a big risk the baby gets it in the face and on the body when born. All it takes is one tiny outbreak.

∙ 10y agoI have personal experience with this myself. HPV is usually a fancy name for cervical pre-cancer, at least is was for me. It was explained to my that it is something you have and your baby can not get. Even if you wait until after you deliver to have the pre-cancer removed. It's not nearly as contractable as other std's like herpes. Normally your partner can't even catch it from you. Your baby should be fine.

If you were with a woman one time and she became pregnant are you obligated to pay child support if you do not want the child?
Yes, the issue of a biological father not wanting the woman to bear the child is irrelevant and will not affect his legal obligation to support that child. Both parents of a minor child are legally obligated to financially support that child until he or she reaches the stated age of majority.
