first find a good doctor. tell him about the herpes outbreak. he will closely monitor you to make sure things are okay. you automatically give your baby antibodies to protect them against infection. if you have a bad outbreak at time of birth it is possible to give your baby herpes but the doctor will probably suggest a cesearian delivery to prevent spreading to the newborn. there is a lot of info on google but i suggest you and your obgyn talk because he is the most knowledgable. very few moms and babies have problems so don't panic. it is just better to talk with your doctor.
