Bonus info- There is at least one more condition in which the delivery should be delayed for some time after appearance of the condition- Chickenpox ! In varicella rash- planned delivery should normally be avoided for at least 7 days after the onset of the maternal rash to allow for the passive transfer of antibodies from mother to child.
