Pregnant with hsv2

Okay im 24 i have one child already which is 4 now...I contacked HSV2 3 months after my first child was born so I have had it for almost 5 years now...Now I am pregnant with my second child and I was okay I had no OB for a long time not even when i became pregnant up until I was 16weeks I'm now 27weeks the OB was brought on because I had contacked a STD from the father(we broke up before I found out I was pregnant) and since then I have been have a non stop OB...then found out I had Trick from him as well because I wasnt tested for that the first time so it kept the OB going then I got treated for that and the OB hasn't been so intense as it was but didnt complety go away and I haven't sex since I was 16weeks cause I don't trust anyone and the OB wont go away...does this mean my baby will get infected with this because its not going away??? Please help I don't want my baby to be punished for my unrespondable choices....

you've had a lot going on in the genital area along with being pregnant. Not too unusual to have more recurrences.

if you are still itching, return to be seen to be tested for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally to make sure neither of them are going on.

are you taking acyclovir now for the ob's?

I am clear of the other STD's and it has settle down for the most part but when it tingle a lil as much as I try not to scratch I can't help it then once I start I have to keep going til the itch is over and there is the pain...and yes my doctor and i have talked about starting me with the meds at 32 weeks...and im hoping that it stops it...but before I became pregnant i wasn't taking any meds and maybe had one or two OB's I was better without taken any meds before the pregnancy

since you've had hsv2 since before you were pregnant, it's not an issue until it's time to deliver. Your ob's are just an annoyance for you at this point.  

are you taking herpes antivirals at all?

have you and your obgyn discussed herpes antivirals in the pregnancy doses for the last month of pregnancy?

hopefully once you get all your other vaginal issues cleared up, the herpes will finally settle down for you!

congratulations on your pregnancy and keep asking questions!!!
