Reply To: Pregnant and just diagnosed with a first outbreak

For anyone finding this later with a long standing diagnosis: recurrent herpes in pregnancy is a much lower risk situation, and suppressive treatment towards the end is commonly considered. Different conversation, much less alarming.

Either way the rule is the same. Tell the people delivering your baby.
