HSV1 in pregnancy

Allie

I’m a little embarrassed to talk about this but I Have HSV 1 and I’ve been having outbreaks for the last two weeks around my lips and inside of my mouth, will this effect my baby in any way? I don’t get outbreaks in or around my genitals just my lips. I’m concerned because when I eat I feel like I’m transmitting the virus to my baby since I have outbreak that reach my uvula.
