My wife has herpes and she is pregnant. She is very worried about passing herpes to the baby. The doctor said as long as she is not having an outbreak when she is giving birth, it should be fine. He said if she is really worried, she should have a c-section. I know it is better to have a natural birth and I think she should just do it. But, she is very paranoid and really does not want the baby to have herpes. I don't know what to tell her other than what the doctor has already said about the issue.
