Hi Louisa

Sorry, no words of wisdom but lots of sympathy for your predicament! I have a similar problem - didn't know there was medication one could take, though. I read the thread dachlostar put up and am now feeling quite worried. I wasn't too concerned when I had DS - my ob just said, if lesions are present when I go into labour, they may do a caesar, which is how he ended up being born (but for other reasons). This time round I'm going for a VBAC but am now wondering if I shouldn't just have an elective c/s instead.

It sounds like you've done your research - maybe you just have to trust in your ob and go for the VB which is what they recommend.I don't know exactly where you get the lesions but perhaps they can be covered to reduce the chance of transmission?

Let us know how you go in making your decision.
