And I heard a cold sore on the lip is considered herpes on the lip. Not genital herpes.

You are getting a sore but not a cold sore. A COLD SORE is caused by the herpes virus. That is why it is considered so bad.

My mom told me. Her friends daughter died because she was pregnant and had a cold sore. I don't really believe it I think she said it to just scare me

Its also cold where I live and my lips are always dry and cracking and burning when it's cold. I always use chapstick but I lost mine and recently found it. I just recently got a cold sore this morning. I felt it coming on about 2 days ago, started showing yestrdy and this morning it starting showing even more. I hate it! I've never heard of a cold sore being bad during pregnancy though??
