Hi,
When I was 15 years old I was raped and he gave me genital herpes. I am
now 30 years old and 17 weeks pregnant. I have one child delivered by c-
section.  I will be getting a repeat c-section. I am concerned about
something my doctor did the other day.  I was having mild
cramping/contractions so he checked my cervix with his fingers. I was 1
cm dilated and he could feel the membranes (amniotic sac) bulging a bit
through my cervix. I was also at the end of a herpes flare up and had a
few lesions that were healing. I am scared that since he actually
touched the amniotic sac that he may have spread the virus to the baby
after touching my lesions. I am worried sick and can't even sleep. The
contractions stopped after medication, so that is not a concern.  The
concern is that he touched the membranes after possibly touching the
herpes lesions. I am worried he gave the virus to my baby in utero.  
What do you think?  Any women out there who had an exam like this while
pregnant (during an outbreak)?

Thanks,
Kim
