Thank you guys :) anymore advice for her would be great
^^not true! They will most likely put her on medicine (valtrex/acyclovir/valacyclovir) to suppress the hsv a few weeks before its time to deliver so it won't be passed on to baby. Tell her to talk openly to her doctor about it so they can come up with the best plan for her and the baby.
Most likely she is having c section to avoid the baby having contact during birth.
