Honey it will be okay. The doctor will probably prescribe you Valtrex or something like that to take for you outbreaks. As it gets closer to the delivery, they will check you and determine whether or not you will have to get a C section. If you are having an outbreak, you will have a c section if not they will evaluate you and determine whether you can have a vaginal birth.

The first few outbreaks are always the most painful. I was diagnosed with it about 3 years ago. But you can control your outbreaks by keep your stress levels as far down as you possibly can, eat healthy, and drink water regularly.

I know what you're going through. I cried for weeks because I had always been careful with my partners. And at the time I was diagnosed I had been with my boyfriend for a year already. Its heart breaking, but it's manageable.

You'll be fine love. Stay strong and just take precautions.

Message me and I can tell you some things I do to cope with the outbreaks to make them less of a burden. :-)

I have them myself, but I was diagnosed until 6 weeks postpartum with my almost 6 month old. I think I have an outbreak right now but im not sure. I know how you feel though

It's really not recommended tbh. My best friend has it and gave birth to her  naturally.

Hi I'm so sorry that you are going through this especially finding out during pregnancy could be especially hard I want you to know that a lot of people who don't know about herpes and its symthoms blows the situation out of proportion and could be so cruel. However herpes do not define who you are as a person or make you less desirable. I'm so glad you have support from your partner that's a blessing there's so many others that deals with this alone and feel abandoned. Vaginal herpes is no different from having a cold sore on your lip you just have to be a bit more careful. Settle down with the one you want to be with and I guarantee you they will get use to the idea. Herpes is more common than you think it is trust me. But over time they lessen and lessen OK. Stay strong and be strong for yourself and your children OK.oh and also having a c section isn't the worst thing in the world either OK and even though they warned that you might have to have a c section there's still hope of a viginal delivery. Good luck I'm wishing you the best

There are 2 types of herpes. You are ok if its cold sores. About 95% of people have it. Another kind is sexually transmitted herpes, or genital herpes. It's recommended to have a c-section if you have genital herpes,  because it can be transmitted to your baby during the vaginal birth

[alexis444]

Oh cold sores are a form of herpes. My doctor didn't give me any medicine or anything he just said not to have oral sex when I have a cold sore.

[darlingh92]

Yes i plan to talk to  my doctor on what to do. Its so scary im worried about my unborn child.

[darlingh92]

Well i also had cold sores all my life and i never thought This will happen to me i have an appointment coming up thus monday so i will let them know this is my first outbreak and its so painful.

You could talk to your doctor on birth plans save for you and baby and how to deal with outbreaks after baby gets here so you don't pass it on to them.

[alexis444]

First of all did they do your blood work and tell you that you have herpes? Herpes is not always transmitted sexually. You could have got it from sharing a drink with some of your friends that has it. I found out I had herpes with my first pregnancy I wasn't surprised because I have had cold sores my whole life and I knew that was a form of herpes. If you have vaginal herpes then you will have to have a c cection if you have a outbreak while in labor they would normally give you medicine to prevent that.
