Can you have a healthy pregnancy with genital herpes? Can you breastfeed?

I am curious as to the ablity to have a healthy and normal pregnancy if you have Herpes..and also can you breastfeed?

Yes you can, I have it and i'm still going to be able to deliver vaginally and breastfeed. All they'll do is when you get a certain amount of weeks put you on valtrex until you deliver that way you won't have an outbreak before the baby is born and spread it.

from what I've heard if the woman has herpes she can still a normal pregnancy but when the times comes to give birth it has to be done by c-section so the baby isn't exposed to the virus and yes she can still breastfeed

I was told that if u have an STD that the baby will be born with it too. I dont know if thats true or not. Also, A c-section is greater than a vaginal birth.

Yes, and yes.

If you have active lesions at term, you might need a c-section.

It has no effect at all on breastfeeding. (Virus isn't passed via the milk.)
