∙ 10y agoThere is always a risk, but the research I did said that newborns would be immune if the mother had the chicken pox. The antibodies get passed to the newborn; nursing also helps in this.

Can an unborn baby get chickenpox if the mom already had it previously?
Complications that can affect the unborn baby vary, depending on how many weeks pregnant you are when you catch chickenpox. The risk of chickenpox during pregnancy is that the infant may contract it. If the mother develops her chickenpox rash between 6 and 21 days before delivery, her baby's case is likely to be mild and require no treatment. But if the mother's rash develops later - from 5 days before to 2 days after delivery - and no steps are taken to shield her fetus, the newborn has a 25 percent chance of getting chickenpox between 5 and 10 days after birth. It might be severe: Up to 30 percent of infected babies die if not treated.
