I was in hospital for seven weeks prior to the birth of my daughter and was exposed to Shingles, there was a bit of a panic on in the hospital with so many expectant mums around and we all had to have our blood checked- mines came back fine, medic said I had natural immunity, I am 45 and have never had Chicken Pox, Shingles or Cold Sores.
