Is having a cold sore bad during pregnancy

No, your immune system is compromised during pregnancy, so your more susceptible to them. If you get them down south, you may have to take an antiviral closer to pregnancy and prepare for a csection if you have an outbreak, but on your face it's nbd

Closer to delivery, sorry.

@worlds.okayest.mom thank you wow I never knew that !! Also I think I got it from the fever I had the other day and didn't take medicine for. what are some home remedies for it? I put some toothpaste

@verguinia I have no idea beyond that. Some girl in my birth month group on babycenter was talking about it and that how I learned all about what I know about lol. I know they sell OTC stuff like that one commercial that shortens the healing time. Abreva?

@worlds.okayest.mom I know abriva works really well your right unfortunately it's really expensive

@verguinia shoot I'm sorry. I would just try to Google it

@worlds.okayest.mom thank you I was also thinking to ask my doctor for a prescription for free lol

@verguinia you could definitely try! I believe the antivirals are only safe the last few weeks of pregnancy, but you can see if there's some prescription cream he can write up for you!

@worlds.okayest.mom yes you can't go wrong for asking !
