Pregnancy and Herpes

Can I have children with a Herpes diagnosis??? I'm newly diagnosed and am feeling very down and hopeless about certain aspects of my life and future, namely being able to have children : (

Yes, of course you can. Many women do. Many women don't even realise they carry herpes and have children! You just need to inform the ob/gyn that you have herpes and which type, so that precautions can be taken, if deemed necessary.

Thank you!
