I'm really prone to cold sores and I have one at the moment, so I'm really worrying about what happens if I get one when my baby is born. I know the Herpes virus can be very dangerous to tiny babies.
I am particularly prone when I'm run-down and not getting enough sleep......
Is there anything I can do to minimise the risks? E.g. use Zovirax pro-actively for prevention?
