HSV1 Genital and Pregnancy

Hi. I have HSV1 genitally. I’ve had it about 4 years but I’ve only ever had one outbreak. I’ve recently found out I’m pregnant and I’m terrified of harming my baby. Everything I read online is so negative. I really want to deliver naturally. Is this possible? Will my baby get sick just because I have hsv1? I’d love some positive stories as I am so stressed..
