Wow I guess I will be able to answer all of your questions for you. I have herpes, and this will be my second c-section, I am currently 31 weeks.

As for the herpes goes, I have only had a few outbreaks since I have been infected,a little over a year. I have had one outbreak, last week, since I have been pregnant. My doctor gave me a prescription for the valtrex, I am supposed to take it once a day, until the prescription is done.

He said that a lot of times toward the end of your pregnancy you will have to take valtrex, because my body is going through so much.

I am not sure if they will make you have a c-section just because you have herpes, but you are right, that if you have a vaginal delivery your baby is at a very high risk to contract the std.

As for your questions about a c-section go ahead and ask away, and I will try to answer them the best I can.

Good luck.

Thanks for your input. Actually my doctor thinks its okay to have a vaginal birth, but I dont want to take the risk. He said it was my call and would put me on valtrex either way the last month.
