    Pregnancy can allow latent herpes infection to become active.  It will probably come-and-go throughout your pregnancy.

    Nooooo.  I didn't know this happened!  I HATE cold sores.  I'm guessing that valtrex isn't safe during pregnancy...lol.  Dangit.

    Same here. I got one on my upper lip two weeks ago and I got another one last week on my bottom lip.  I still have the one on my lower lip this week.  I hope it goes away FOR GOOD!

    I know this sucks!!!! I got one just yesterday. I usually use Zovarax it works really good but now I don't know if I can so I am just not going to risk it and deal with the small sacrifices

    ask your ob about valtrex.  mine said it was fine.  if you look it up it actually has the same safety rating as tylenol.

    I would also ask about lysine supplements.  I've always used them when I got cold sores, and I imagine it shouldn't be a problem since it isn't a medication.

    I get them in my nose and if they travel to my brain I could die. My obgyn approved Valtrex... it's considered a type B

    Wow, I had no idea my cold sore was related to my pregnancy! I just figured it was the cold weather...

     I use a gel called Vilactin. It burns, but dries it up fairly quickly
