Newborn Herpes

Hey everyone,

I have herpes, and gave birth vaginally 2/25/21. I did NOT have an active outbreak during my birth, and there’s no sores around my nipples (I breastfeed). However, while changing her I seen a bump on her labia. It looks like a herpe bump but I could also be worrying myself about it. Can newborns get herpes on their genital area like adults? Or just around the eyes and mouth? Thank you. I’m getting her checked out Friday as well. Anyone gone through this? Tips? I feel horrible 🥺
