  • How Will My Herpes Affect My Partner's Pregnancy?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I have a question for you. I have herpes and my girlfriend doesn't. We want to get married and have a baby. Would this cause a miscarriage or effect our chances? If so what can be done so we can have a healthy baby?

  • Is Lysine Safe During Pregnancy?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I have herpes and to avoid outbreaks, I take large doses of Lysine as soon as I start to feel an outbreak coming on. Also, if I feel a cold coming on, I take large doses of Echinacea to ward off the cold. Are these things safe while pregnant and how much does the dosage matter?

  • Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and 2

    I was infected with Herpes in a monogamous relationship (we anticipated our vows, and I am now married to him). This is my story. I am writing this article so that others in my situation hopefully find the answers to their questions.

  • Perineal Massage

    Perineal massage is the gentle stretching and massaging of the skin between the anus and vagina (perineum) during the last few weeks of pregnancy. This massage has been shown to reduce the incidence of episiotomy and perineal tears during birth.
