Can someone inform me about their experiences with being pregnant and finding out you have herpes? I just tested positive for HSV1 genital and I’m about to be 17 weeks pregnant. Have I already passed this to my child, is my child in any danger? Will I be able to kiss my child on the cheek? This has really taken a toll on me and I’m trying to hold it together. I know I will be okay, just as a soon to be mother, im more concerned about my baby. Im just looking for all the info I can get.
