Trying to stay strong

Well the day of my baby being born I was pushing her out the midwife noticed something like in grown hair looked like a lesion I guess so they swabbed it and then when I went in for my check up it came back positive for hsv2 I like wow how could I had got this they say it could had been dominant in my body for period of time now I trying to get Happy but just can't just need someone to talk to !

Aww it’s going to be okay , it’s not the end of the world and as long you delivered a healthy baby boy/girl that’s a blessing enough but have you ever been checked for herpes ?

Prayers to you and your family. I was recently diagnosed about a week ago. Its not easy. I'm still trying to figure things out. But according to many people its not as bad as we think.

No I never did cause you know I always got tested for everything else but never that because I guess I never had an outbreak before till that time I delivered my little girl but I researched about it doctors never test you for it at your check up till you have symptoms or you tell them I been exposed to the virus and the virus can remain dominant in your body for periods of time till it becomes active that's the crazy part and you could have the virus and don't even know it

Sorry to hear this but you will feel more positive it just takes time! 

Has your baby been checked and tested? It can be passed on during childbirth if you have an outbreak xx 

Yes she is fine
