Pregnancy and Herpes

[ash128083]

Ladies who have herpes and are pregnant or have been pregnant: were youre outbreaks worse or better during pregnancy? Were you on suppressive medicine or no? I started having a lot of genital issues starting 2 years ago after having the virus for 10 years. First 8 years on suppressive meds I had zero issues, 2 pregnancies with zero outbreaks. Mu husband and I are debating on trying for another baby but I’m so worried where I have been having symptoms monthly while on the medication. Theres times where it’s hard for me to “mom” because of the discomfort I have as well as the mental state it puts me in. Just looking for some insight.

I didn’t have a lot of issues. I don’t really get blisters. I have extreme itching and tingling. I was very nervous for delivery because of this, but everything worked out.

Hey, Question? Is your husband H+ ? If he’s not, how did you guys go about having babies?

I'm H+ but my spouse is H- and we want to try for kids but I don’t want to put him at any risk. what would be your advice ?

My husband is not H+. Unfortunately my tubes were blocked, so we did IVF to get pregnant.

I would say in your situation, take antivirals and proceed.
