Never though being a new mum would cause so much worry and anxiety. Posting this for reassurance and maybe advice. Had baby a week after due date, was induced a few days after baby was due and due to a few episodes RFM. Had been taking suppression medication from 36 weeks for HSV2 with my only outbreak during pregnancy being at 36 weeks. Consultant gave me dose to clear and then suppress from this time. I have suffered with HSV 2 for 4 years prior to being pregnant so didn’t catch it during pregnancy. Flare up cleared and after a traumatic labour baby was born via emergency C section due to issues with baby’s heart rate. Baby was born fine good weight and seemed healthy but two days after had issues with feeding and breathing. Doctors said it was infection and after readin my notes realised I suffered with herpes and asked if I had any active sores/ flare ups which I told them about the last time 4/5 weeks before. Fast forward 4 days after birth, baby being treated for infection which is showing is responding to antibiotics and think I have two sores which have shown up. I have overwhelming guilt what if I have give him herpes, he was born via c section but could he still have caught them?! I just have overwhelming guilt that what if it’s all my fault he’s sick? Just don’t know what to do and how to deal with this feeling 😔
