If you have cold sores does your baby have an immunity to them?
So Flutherist…
Guess what!?
After all the sleepless nights and worrying about feeding I have now developed a cold sore.
I don’t know if I’ve ever had one, I must have – I do know that I have the virus though as I got a blood test about 6 years ago and it showed HSV-1….
My question is would the antibodies to this have been passed to daughter in the womb?
I was kissing her like crazy yesterday as she was having an unsettled day -I cant’ remember if I kissed her mouth or not but I kiss all over her face – how can you not?
So now I’m worried I’ve passed the virus on to her and I’ve been reading horror horror stories about newborns getting the virus.
She’s 3 weeks… Can she be ok if I have passed it on?
Does she need a cut in order for it to be passed on or is it skin on skin contact.
Thanks so much.
Not freaking out to much just a bit paranoid.
Seeing Dr on Friday.
