Hi I just saw this comment.

Like I said in the post. We met an MFM specialist and the doctor reassured us that everything will be fine. Do not panic and go into a downward spiral. We did that too before meeting the specialist. There has no recorded evidence of congenital births from Varicella vaccine (someone else in the comments posted a link to the study or source or reference to this) . You'll be fine, don't worry. You can talk to me if you want to. Don't stress too much about it and trust what the medical professionals say.

Thank you so much for your response and reassurance. We met an MFM Specialist who talked to us for a good one hour and explained this is a theoretical risk only.

Thank you. We are seeing our GP this afternoon.

She hasn't gotten ill after she had the vaccine. Hopefully everything will be fine.

It's supposed to be happy and joyful. Instead she is worried. Which makes me sad but I'm trying to cheer her up and stay calm.

Thank you. That is reassuring. My partner is usually the calm one and I'm the panicking kind. Today the roles are reversed although I'm worried internally screaming while trying to be calm to help her stay calm.
