You don't have to convince me. lol I already know that my baby will be fine.
I've done the research and I have an excellent obgyn who is on the same page
with me. I am not in the least bit concerned and neither should anybody else
out there that has herpes and is pregnant. (In case you ladies are out there
reading this post.)

I already knew that much Joanne.

It's possible to have lesions on your cervix and that usually can be found
during a true primary outbreak.
I suppose there are women that might occasionally get them on their cervix.
However, the virus doesn't travel through all those barriers surrounding the
baby to attack your baby. That is not how the virus works. The only time we
need to be aware of possible transmission is if their is virus in the birth
canal at the time of delivery. Skin to Skin contact would create the
possibility of neonatal herpes. The virus is not going to travel through
blood or the mucous plug, etc.

I can't believe that you are even taking into consideration anything that
this particular midwife would tell you.
She didn't even culture your supposed lesions that she saw. You don't even
know if what she saw was a herpes lesion.
If you cared about what was truly going on with you and your unborn child
you would not be here posting to this forum. You would instead be out
looking for an informed doctor.

You are freaking yourself out.

Yea . . . you keep saying that but I don't believe you any more.
