i found out when I was 2 months pregnant at 7 months I asked my babies father to leave for lots of reason 

my baby is now 18 months and I have not been with any men I also get lots of re-occurring outbreaks but the problem is I suffer with emetophobia (sickness) and won't take any mess that can cause this so I just ignore the outbreak as best as I can !! But I get them at least once a month and make me feel so ill can anyone here suggest anything I can try x

    You need to go to your Dr. or GYN ASAP to start on antiviral meds. Try to keep your stress level down if at all possible as this will contribute to outbreaks.

    Hi I know what your saying but because of my phobia it stops me from going to get meds!!!

    i can handle the outbreaks but it's just the sick feeling I get and headaches while I'm having a outbreak I'm finding hard to combat

      Explain your phobia to me sweetie...I'm sorry sad I'll help and encourage you anyway I can. The meds will STOP your breakouts. You should not suffer through them! Eventually you'll be virtually breakout free with meds.

      Absolutely normal. I felt the same way. I've been dealing with this for 9 years but have only had maybe 6 breakouts other than the initial one.

      I've only had one person reject me once o told them. I'm always upfront right away. Then one guy I was so in love with was with me for 2 years and knew about my condition. He broke up with me and emailed me telling me "Good luck finding someone willing to put up with it....ummmmm he did for 2 years so??? Jerk!

      Wondering what that looks like on a calendar... Lol....

      So what was the one guy's reaction that rejected you? Like did he never talk to you again?
