Hi SophieRose, no this isn't just a thread for those who've already had a section. You are more than welcome to post in here.
Sorry to hear you contracted herpes from a blood transfusion. You shouldn't feel at all like a wimp for considering an elective caesarean. It's only natural to want the best outcome for your baby and I think it's only natural to feel a little hesitant to go for a VB when you have the herpes factor to consider. Have you had an outbreak while pregnant or have you been well so far? Just something to consider - Many women who carry the HSV2 virus go on to have normal vaginal deliveries without incident. One of my friends did just that only a month ago. Quite often it is recomended to go on anti-viral meds say for the last 6 weeks of pregnancy up until the birth and this will prevent you from having any outbreaks during this time. Something to consider anyway, but in the end you have to make the decision that is right for you. Best of luck with whatever you choose.
