I was diagnosed with hsv2 nearly five years ago now. Over the years my outbreaks have slowed down dramatically to maybe two a year. I am currently 35 weeks pregnant. I have informed my midwife about the herpes and I will be going on suppressive therapy from next week to hopefully keep the outbreaks away when I go in to labour. However I'm still so petrified the baby is going to catch it, like petrified. Has anybody else been in the same position as me and everything been ok. I'm so excited about becoming a mum but this is really ruining it for me. Any advice would be so appreciated.

I had a baby with the virus. But mine affects me on my pubic area so they checked if I had anything inside but there was nothing. Gave birth to my baby naturally and his well. I am hear for you if you want to talk or ask any questions.
I was so embarrassed telling the nurses of my condition. I was tested for other std's but not herpes so I had to tell them.
