neonatal herpes For new born- HELP!

[Newdadalert]

Me and my wife just had a new born. Everything looks healthy. At time of vaginal delivery, she did not have any outbreaks or blisters. Is there a chance the baby could still get neonatal herpes?

The baby is 5 days old. I don’t see any type of rashes. He does have some jaundice and eating just minimum-1.5 ounce per feeding session every 2 hours. His diapers are good. He has been peeing and pooping.

So you don't know if your wife is hsv2 positive

[Newdadalert]

No. R we in trouble?

[feelingundone]

I feel like I'm not getting all the info here.

Did you stray and are worried? Have you been diagnosed?

[Newdadalert]

Can u privately message me

[feelingundone]

[Newdadalert]

I sent it over. Can you check

[feelingundone]

I never received a message. I sent you one as well. Did it go through?

[feelingundone]

How is you having it going to effect your child?

[Newdadalert]

Because I can give it to my wife when she was pregnant. I have hsv2. Any concern?

[Newdadalert]

At the time my wife was not showing. No blisters or outbreaks in the vagina area. She delivered vaginally.

Congratulations on your newborn baby boy!!! Stay off the intetnet. Lol. Really everything will be fine.

Even if I have it? Do I have to worry

[feelingundone]

You can relax. The odds are extremely low and 5 days with no issues is a great sign

Thank you. Googling too much will always have a parent worried. He was born on the smaller side but is gaining 1 oz a day.
