Does having genital herpes forbid you to
have a normal delivery? You do they
always do c-section because of the high
risk on the baby?

I remember one summer I worked in a ob/gyn
dr's office and there was a lady who was
pregnant who had genital herpes. She was
going to deliver vaginally as long as she
didn't have an outbreak. If she did have
an outbreak at the time of delivery, she
would get a c-section. I think she was
able to vaginally deliver. Your doctor
would know best.
