Steph infection cause herpes?

I had my daughter and was kept in hospital due to a Staph infection. Is this in anyway related to herpes? Does a staph infection show up if you have herpes?
I am herpes type 2 positive. I have however believed that I caught this after I gave birth but just thinking back because I had this staph infection when I gave birth could I have had herpes then cause of it? Is it in anyway linked?
