What are the risks to my unborn baby if I have genital herpes?The biggest concern with genital herpes during pregnancy is that you might cheap nfl hats transmit it to your baby during labor and delivery. If a baby is infected this way, the virus can cause a miscarriage or serious birth defects.

Will I need a http://www.airjordanmvp.com/ cesarean delivery if I have herpes?It depends. That's because you begin to develop antibodies to herpes soon after you're first infected, and they're passed on to your baby through the placenta. This would be the case if you have any visible sores on your cervix, vagina, or external genitals, or any symptoms, like tingling, burning, or pain, that sometimes signal an imminent outbreak. (Currently, there's no quick and reliable way to test whether you're actually shedding virus.)The only exception might be if you have herpes lesions or symptoms and your water breaks when your baby is still very premature. In that case, your practitioner may try to postpone delivery to give your baby more time to develop. (You may be treated with an antiviral medication in the meantime.)To improve your chances of being able to deliver vaginally, most experts including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommend that pregnant women with recurrent genital herpes be offered oral antiviral medication from 36 weeks or so until delivery. If you are, the risk of transmission to your baby is very high up to 50 percent.
