If you had hsv2 prior to becoming pregnant and don't have any obvious lesions at the time of labor - the risk of transmitting it to the baby is less than 1%. Certainly not a good enough reason to decide not to have more children!!!  If you do have an active lesion - a c section will be done.

If you haven't already, be sure to read the herpes handbook at www.westoverheights.com. it's filled with terrific info on herpes and treatments so you better understand the low risk of transmitting herpes to a partner and what precautions you can take to make that risk as low as possible.  There is also a terrific patient counseling video on the same site to watch if your provider didn't already give you the gsk dvd in the office.

i am feeling the same way, i just found out i have hsv2 also.. i feel like a walking disease, i dont know who i got it from or how long i have had it... but i have done alot of research and we can still have kids, if we are having a breakout during the time of delivery the doctor will have us a c section.. i hope that helps.. if u need someone to talk to about this i am willing to listen, were both in the same situation
