Pregnant and just diagnosed with a first outbreak
First outbreak, and I am in the last stretch of pregnancy. I have an appointment but not for days and I am frightening myself reading.

Offered a self collected sample instead of the usual appointment. Convenient, but is it as reliable?
No symptoms, no particular incident I am worried about, but I have had a few partners this year. Friend says routine testing is pointless without symptoms.…
Treated last week, still not right. Someone mentioned PID and now I do not know what I am watching for.
Had a couple before, now pregnant and they have multiplied noticeably. Is that a coincidence?
Diagnosed and treated. Every page I open mentions infertility and I have gone from mildly worried to unable to think about anything else.
Picked up on testing while pregnant. Reading has thrown up all sorts of things about pregnancy outcomes and I would like something calmer.
Routine antenatal bloods came back positive. I have an appointment but the wait is unbearable.
Colposcopy found changes and I have been booked for treatment to remove the area. Nobody described what the appointment is like.
Diagnosed and now anxious about my kids, sharing a bathroom and sofas and so on.
