Hi Eliza I know this post is 4 years old!!! But I was wondering since then have you had any outbreaks!? I got diagnosed afew weeks ago with genital HSV1 and I'm so upset. Iv only had the one OB and I'm wondering how often it will come back.

In my experience getting now instead of when it gets worse is the best thing to i just got it not too long ago I'm trying to stay as calm as possible but the more I think about it the more I cry and freak out I got it from my boyfriend which is also my child's father and I'm freaking out not for me but for my daughters but get tested please for your sanity

May I ask why you're worried for your daughters? That they may have gotten it through your birthing them?

No I know my oldest daughter doesn't have but I'm pregnant currently I'm scared that when it's time to deliver that she might come out with herpes and that is the scariest thing on my mind right now with this outbreak I can barely sleep I'm in so much pain I can barely walk or sit down since I got it I'm just scared and reading these I see some are living happy lives and me I'm just scared my daughter loves to sleep in the bed with me and since all of this she just feels like I'm pushing her away I have a appointment to see how my daughter that isn't here doing because that scared me and hopefully start medication to get back to the life of working to make it for my daughters I'm just scared for the baby that isn't here yet

Right, even with all the info saying how unlikely it is to pass on through birth and how many precautions can be taken, I'm sure I'd be going crazy as you are too. I see you have an appointment coming up. Have you already spoken with a dr about all the birthing precautions that can be taken and that if you deliver during OB, a cesarean can 100% prevent infection? I hope your next appointment can put your mind at ease some. I only know what I've read, I have been told direct from a Dr nothing about HSV and pregnancy.
I understand too your concern of cuddling with your older daughter, but when clothed, there is no risk of infecting your daughter. If it's that you mean cuddling is uncomfortable and painful... I'm so sorry to hear that. Maybe until the OB is over you can find a new way to cuddle and bond with your daughter. Best wishes and health to you and your family.

I'm having a c-section regardless but I truly thank you so much I hope my doctor will ease my mind for awhile because I need something to get the pain to stop for awhile when it comes back I'll know exactly what to do my main concern is my daughter and my health and trying to get through this now

I've read Orajel works good. Apply topically to the sores.
