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.
