yes, genital herpes can be transmitted to the baby . during pregnancy it can be transmitted if the infection is acquired during pregnancy. if the infection was present prior to pregnancy, the real risk is during
delivery
Delivery presentations
Infant care following delivery
C-section
but thankfully that is a very small risk if no lesions are present at the time of
delivery
Delivery presentations
Infant care following delivery
C-section
