Having HSV-1 or HSV-2 increases the risk of having a miscarriage during pregnancy, having premature labor and it also increases the possibility that your baby could have serious complications if exposed the virus. Between 20 and 25% of all pregnant women may have herpes, but of those, only about 0.01% will experience complications dring the pregnancy itself. If the mother is having her first outbreak while she is pregnant, she is more likely to pass the virus to her baby. If the outbreak is not the first one, the baby's risk of getting the virus is very low.
If you get herpes during the first trimester of pregnancy, it's unlikely you will have any serious problems. Your body will produce antibodies to the HSV-2 and those antibodies will get passed on to the baby and provide some protection. If you already have HSV2, then as soon as you get pregnant you would also hand off antibodies to your as yet unborn child. If you have HSV-1, the antibodies are not thought to offer as much protection. If you get herpes in the last trimester or very late in pregnancy then you and the baby will have the highest risk of complications mostly because there is not enough time for you to develop and pass on the antibodies.
And the biggest risk to the baby is during the actual birthing process. If you have an outbreak of herpes and have active lesions as the baby is beginning to pass through the vaginal birthing canal, the newborn will more than likely become infected with the herpes virus. Babies born with herpes may be premature or may die, or they may have brain damage, severe rashes or eye problems. Doctors may do a C-section to deliver a baby if the mother has herpes lesions near the birth canal to help prevent passing the virus.
Also, acyclovir can help babies born with herpes if they are treated right away. It is not yet known if all genital herpes drugs are safe for pregnant women to take. Some doctors may recommend acyclovir be taken either as a pill or through an IV (a needle into a vein) during pregnancy. Unfortunately in fact it is not considered safe to take any of the anti-viral medications during pregnancy. These drugs are considered Class B drugs, which means that they can cause complications to the unborn baby.
Our anti-herpes treatments are characterized by very strong pharmacological activities which unequivocally confers them the character of "ethical drugs". The antiviral properties of the medicinal extracts in these treatments are undisputed and principle caution must be considered and applied when using any treatment, natural or synthetic. It is imperative that there is trust in the manufacturers who are the purveyors for quality.
Very recent advances in the scientific understanding of medicinal plants suggest a much broader use in treating and eradicating herpes infections than science thought possible just ten years ago.

A C-section delivery is probably your best option though some experts feel that if there is no sign of an active recurrence, you can have a vaginal delivery. This is a discussion that you would have with your obstetrician. Let your doctor know if you have genital herpes even if you are not having an outbreak. He or she will help you manage it safely during pregnancy.
If you have genital herpes, you can keep breastfeeding as long as the sores are covered. Herpes is spread through contact with sores and can be dangerous to a newborn. If you have sores on your nipple or areola, the darker skin around the nipple, you should stop breastfeeding on that breast. Pump or hand express your milk from that breast until the sore clears. Pumping will help keep up your milk supply and prevent your breast from getting engorged or overly full. You can store your milk to give to your baby in a bottle at another feeding. If the parts of your breast pump that contact the milk also touch the sores while pumping, you should throw the milk away.
