A member asked:

I am an expecting mother at 28 weeks i had primary herpes so it was the fist time and now i am terrified of my baby having congenital will she?

Discuss with Ur doc: Generally ,the baby delivered during/thru a pelvis affected by primary herpes is at the greatest risk.If your primary infection spared the baby (common), there is less but some risk if delivered while you have a reinsurance. Some schedule a c-section to avoid the risk and others take meds to suppress recurrences.
