“Neonatal herpes, infection of a newborn baby, can have devastating consequences but is extremely rare in Australia. It is important for women and their partners planning a pregnancy to know that neonatal herpes only occurs when the virus is caught for the first time in the very late stage of pregnancy and not in women experiencing recurrent outbreaks.”

You’re much better talking to a GP about it though than relying on anonymous random people on a forum or anything on the internet really.
Yea...and the reason it is rare because...the pregnant women....get c-sections...like...I...said. Can't get herpes if the baby never goes down the rabbit hole.

Although I do agree it is better talking to a doctor in the flesh. The physicians at the sexual health clinics are better suited then your run of the mill GP though. They are generally much more knowlegable on STIs. For pregnancy related issues, I suggest your favorite OB/GYN. It is alot better then random people like me on the internet, who knows, I could just be quoting different internet articles.
