Could be impetigo

Ok, so now I'm completely freaking out

Studies have shown that women who have had the herpes simplex virus long before becoming pregnant are at a very low risk of infecting the baby.

The one area that is of greatest concern is if you contract the herpes virus for the first time during your pregnancy. There will be a very high likelyhood of passing it on to your baby. Neonatal herpes as it is termed, can be fatal to your baby. You must get in contact with your doctor immediately...

How do I know if its the first time I contracted the virus? ****...what do I do?

It's not tingly and not particularly puffy or fluid filled...

So it seems what I thought was a burn on the roof of my mouth is also little blisters (my mum had a look) so probably not cold sores (phew) but maybe hand, foot and mouth? I've had an awful cold and my immune system is still recovering from my undiagnosed coeliacs disease etc... I have made a dr appt for Wed just in case though. Thanks Ausgirl and Lilima
