Posted , 5 users are following.
im pregnant, in my second trimester and after intercourse with my boyfriend last saturday ive had vaginal tears. i know i had gotten dry during sex thinking i may have had a yeast infectiom so thats why i tore BUT the tears havent healed all the way. some have and then some havent . they dont necessarily burn but they are painful when i try to wipe after using the bathroom. ive been using AD ointment and hydrocortisone cream. it itches as well and i have thick white chunky discharge . please help as I am pregnant and am scared to go to the doc and be told i have herpes.

oh, bf was told at doc a few months ago that he had herpes. he had a bump on his shaft and was given meds. we try to be careful using protection after finding out & with me being pregnant but have slipped up. never had signs of me contracting it before now

aint no duh. you didnt say you were getting tested you said you were scared to go and hear you have it. obviously having unprotected sex with someone you know for a fact has genital herpes WHILE pregnant wasnt smart and puts you and the baby at risk and if you know theres a chance you've contracted it why exactly are you on here asking? go see a doctor. but yes tears can be a symptom of herpes.

well what do you think the point of the post was . i obviously wanted to know could this be herpes . if i was told yes clearly for my child and my sake id handle it accordingly . or if symptoms got worse. we never had sex during an outbreak and like i said we slipped up just recently and if you must know all the facts we stopped pretty quickly.

well whether a person is having an outbreak or not you can catch virus. also all it takes is skin to skin contact one time for you to catch it.

honestly, it just looks like irritation to me. Just continue being careful by not having sex if he's having an outbreak. If it were me, I'd probably sustain from sex until my baby is born. To avoid putting my baby at risk. Good luck and I hope everything come back negative.

hi . i looks irritated to me. its not red. and i dont see blisters. but you should get checked anyway. even if you don't want to know. you have to. because if you decide not to get checked to see if you have herpes. and you end up having it. you don't want to risk the baby by getting herpes. through vaginal birth. trust me .you don't want that.
if your not . please save sex. and have your partner try a different condom that can fit better in him. and if you come out positive. there is medication for it. until the week before you give birth. so the baby wont contract herpes by vaginal birth.
im sorry your going thru this matter.
good luck and keep posted.

thank you for your response. my bf suggests i go get tested as well. we are having a scheduled c section due to my previous high risk pregnancies and getting eclampsia so i do know my baby wont be at risk for getting exposed to it IF i do. i just wanted an opinion on it before i go. obviously i know it needs to be done, im just scared to hear those results. but again, thank you so much!
