The problems are related to the birth. The doctor will check for lesions or other signs of a herpes out break and if there are legions present, the safest procedure is typically to have a C-section delivery to prevent the baby from physically coming into contact with the herpes virus. If a woman with herpes does not have lesions in time for labor there is generally no reason that she can not have a vaginal delivery. Although there is still a small risk of infection, The benefits of vaginal delivery tend to outweigh the extremely small risk that the baby will contract genital herpes. Another one of the risk factors is the the use of a fetal scalp monitor. A fetal scalp monitor, which is used during labor and delivery to monitor the heartbeat of the baby can puncture the baby's skin, creating a place where the herpes virus can enter the baby's body. Unless there is a compelling medical reason, A woman with herpes should probably not to use a fetal scalp monitor. It's also really important that you let your new pediatrician know you have herpes. This will allow the pediatrician to be more aware of any risk to the newborn, as well as encourage her to monitor the newborn for any signs of a herpes outbreak. Typically, if the baby does become infected with herpes, the symptoms will occur within the first two to four weeks after birth.
