Can i still give vaginal birth if i have a herpes outbreak on my butt?

Not necessarily: The recommendations are that a cesarean section be performed if there are active genital infections. So, your doctor would have to see where you lesions are and determine if they would be considered genital lesions. It is recommended that anti viral suppresive therapy be started at 36 weeks pregnant to minimize the risk of outbreak at the time of delivery.
