Hi, I am 24+5 weeks PG (first time), and few days ago I developed quite disgusting cold sore on my lip. I had had it in the past in my life, so this is not the first time I got it. I used zovirax since yesterday but not sure if it is ok. What worries me the most is that i heard that cold sore (ie herpes) is dangerous when you are pregnant. I know that herpes break outs can actually appear anywhere in your body, even inside. And the fact that it is on my lip and the food when I eat can get infected and affect my unborn child really freaks me out. Anyone had any experience with cold sore in pregnancy and whether the baby was fine afterwards? Thanks for any help. I am seeing doctor tomorrow morning anyway, but, you know, doctors not always know everything so would appreciate any help from mumsnet community.
