I jsut read in a book at the bookstore that if you have a herpes break out right b4 delivery u have to have a cesarean but as long as your baby is in the amnotic sac he/she should b safe

Actually I thought the same thing. My friend has .H .P .V and does experience outbreaks. She also experienced them right up to her delivery. I told her "you can't have that baby vaginally he'll go blind!!!"

because that's what I was told if the antibodies from an outbreak get into the baby's eyes! Her Dr. Knew about it and said that she could give birth vaginally and sure enough a week later she spit him out vaginally and he was totally fine...

She actaully had an outbreak at the time of delivery too so I was left stunned!!! Lol....

I'm not saying that in your case you can..But in her case she was able to...I suggest you talk to your Dr. About the situation...His opinion might differ from her Dr.'s..

Good .Luck!

I had heard the same thing about .H.P.V--and herpes. Not about going blind--that would be syphillis or gonhorhea(sp)--that I heard you could go blind!!

Anyway, my daughter was in 'remission' when she had her baby from .H.P.V--they tried vaginal--last minute had to emergently take her. But .Dr did not seem concerned--but like I said she was not 'active' at the time. They did biopsy when she was pregnant--after they told her they would just be taking a look. Me and my daughter were pissed---they could have caused her to miscarry.
