IS it Herpes

[KrisN11]

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and had some very very light spotting, i then went to the ER and the baby was monitored also my vagina was visibly checked by the Rn, she said there was just redness & was told to follow up with my obgyn, i made an appt 2 days later and told the nurse i felt like i was getting a yeast infection,but just where the vagina starts in that point area was very itchy but i have had these symptoms with a yeast infection before, the doc did an exam and said i had a discharge and a lesion inside my vagina, just one lesion! I have no pain inside my vagina what so ever and i have no rash or blisters anywhere on/ inside my body, he then asked if i had herpes and if i had been tested for it, i have no idea when/ if i've had a herpes test done but i've never had any concern to be tested for herpes, i'm a pretty healthy person, i was treated twice with yeast infection and then twice for a bacterial infection and was told it was very common to get both during pregnancy. I'm waiting on results HSV swab test, could this still be herpes?

Apparently no testing was done, assuming why he questioned me!

check with your obgyn to see if you were tested for herpes at the beginning of your pregnancy. if you weren't, you and your partner should both seek out type specific herpes igg blood tests to see who has what and go from there. you should pursue the blood testing even if your lesion culture comes back negative to properly cover your bases. This blood testing needs done before you reach 28 weeks pregnancy too since there are increased false negative issues once you reach the 3rd trimester.
