29 weeks and the doctors just tested me for herpes and I don't have herpes if my vagina but I do have herpes 1 she said I have them since I was a kid myself: ( now I'm just wondering if the herpes 1 could hurt the baby in anyway I never really get sores unless I'm sick or on my period... I feel nasty 3 I'm so stupid
so if she did accidentally got them from me would anything happen too her
Just be sure if you have a cold sore when you have your baby that you don't kiss on him or her.. It's easy to spread on a babies forehead and mouth area.. I'm a nurse and have den this many times..
I heard that a baby died from her mother have herpes 1:/ the reason I got my blood drawn for herpes is because I found a Bump in my vagina and it scared me but she said its nothing serious down there...I just feel gross
Yes it can effect immunocompromised people such as newborns. However there are measures the doctors will take in order for you to deliver safely please do not freak out stress is bad for your sweet baby.
