Yes you can still have children after you contract it. You have a very small chance of spreading it to your baby unless you have open lesions during delivery. A c-section will keep the baby clear of the lesions if you do have them during the delivery. The fetus generally will not contract herpes unless he/she is exposed to the actual herpes lesions.

c- section

Why do you have your picture up? Now we all know.

idk ask ya doctor

well i know you can have kids but thats all i know

i would ask a doctor and look it up on online

sure, your doctor will prescibe Valtrex as a suppression

gotta have a c-section so u won't pass it on to the child

ask docter on phone

who would want to? imagine herpes on the lips..."slurpies"!

you can still have a kid but you might have to get a c-section...if you do vaginal birth the babywould most likely get it to but not genital it would just be all over the babies body...i did a report on it

You will have to have a C-section.

Yes you can. But its dangerous for the baby. They will probably make you have a c section if you have an outbreak. But if you don't I think you can have a regular birth. Talk to your Dr before you get preggy.

if you are pregnant already, and you contracted the desease during your pregnancy i suggest you ask a doctor or a farmacist. But if you are not pregnant yet, it will be ok to have babys providing you are clear of the desease.

Yes, you can still have kids. If you have an outbreak at the time of delivery, then they will just do a C-Section.

Think about it. If you can have HIV and have a baby that does not have HIV, then you can easily have genital herpes and not pass it on to the baby.

You asked about the fetus, though. The fetus does not share the same blood supply as the mother, exactly.

Yes, you can still have children, but you have to make sure you don't have a breakout while pregnant, if you did you would most likely have to get a c-section.
