feeling nasty

in 2nd Trimester
Hi this is my 3rd pregnancy and before I became pregnant the 3rd time, I found out I have gential herpes. My husband doesn't have it. No, I didn't go out on my husband. I contracted it years ago and never knew I had it. I thought about terminating the baby at the beginning but never went through with it. I have a prescription for Zoloft for my depression but I don't want to take it while pregnant. I am 15 wks as of yesterday. My husband and I were talking about divorce before I got pregnant. We are working through it. I have a 7 yr old daughter and a 4 yr old son. Need some input. Thanks

    Sorry you have to deal with it. All I can say is herpes is common somewhere around 1 or 2 out of 3 people are affected and like you some don't even know. Its not life threatening it will not prevent you from having a vaginal delivery not unless you have an active outbreak at the time of delivery....

    Your doc will probably put you on acyclovir close to your due date to help lessen your chance of outbreak when you give birth. If you have an outbreak when you go into labor they will prob give you a c section as it can be passed to baby during labor. Best advice I can give is to try not to stress about it as stress is a big cause of outbreaks. My doc told me it won't affect the pregnancy so try not to let that worry you too much.

    As far as psychological issues go, you are more than any disease. I got it as a parting gift from my ex-boyfriend years ago although there are other ways of contracting it from what I understand. Good luck mama.
