As your baby alredy term, heart is alredy developed and mature so there is very less chance of baby's heart disease. Rather if you developed chicken pox 5 days before and 2days after delivery, there is chance of baby's chicken pox.
Next Steps
Need vericela zoster immunoglobulin for baby if you have chicken pox 5days before and 2days after delivery.
