A 29-year-old lady who is 30 weeks pregnant with her second child presents in a very anxious state. She has just been at a friend’s party and has discovered that one of the children there had just developed a rash suggesting chickenpox. She is terrified the disease is going to harm her unborn child. She cannot recall if she had chickenpox as a child. Her medical record does not shed any light on the situation, and it is unclear if she has had vaccination against varicella. She does not have a rash herself and feels well. Her pregnancy has been uncomplicated to date.
What is the most appropriate next course of action?
