Does this look like herpes? i had these bumps, but by time i got an appointment they were gone and it was too late to swab. My doctor won't give me a blood test. Actually told me there wasn't one. I'm really confused because I'm pregnant and would like to know if there is a risk too my child. They took a quick look at one of the pictures and said it doesn't look like it so they wouldn't worry about it, and i would definitely know if i had herpes which i know isn't always true. I really wanted to be tested because i would of preferred a c section if i was positive or at least put on anti viral medication. I'm being induced next week and don't know what to do.

    1st go somewhere else to get a test if they wont do it (urgent care or something fast). If the results are not back in time or you have had sex in the last few months just be on the safe side and have a c section.
