STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
WORRIED COUPLE
My husband and I have been battling with herpes for months now.
My husband and I have been battling with herpes for months now.
I am 28 weeks pregnant and I am so scared for the baby. I have had like 2 episodes since I got pregnant but I was given aciclovir cream to use, it worked but it came back.
I read it online that if you have an episode when you want to give birth, it is very dangerous for the baby. Please gynecologists in the house, how can this be managed.Cos my husband keeps having back to back episodes and it is already becoming worrisome.
I just want my baby to be fine. Thank you
Madam why didn't you go to a Hospital to Physically get really checked and talk with a Doctor?I don't think you should Joke with this at all Ooooooh.
Also i think it would be best you birth your baby via CS.
Haa!..
ReplyDeleteIt's all these sickness that causes deformities in children..
Poster,pray you dont give birth to an imbe!...
Hmmm.this comment will really scare her.
DeleteI have a family instance where a mother had 2 beautiful sets of twins that were not born blind but went blind a few days after delivery because of this kind of infection. The bacteria/fungi got in the eyes of the babies and ate up the nerves and pupils.
DeletePoster, CS is best for you or go and see a doctor and be prepared to spend money for a cure now so you don't end up with a blind baby. God help you.
Not true!!! Don't scare her like that. It's dangerous yes but it's nothing c/s can't solve
DeleteMadam go hospital and follow their advice.
DeleteIts very true and i am not going to gain anything from scarring her. Virginal birth was the undoing of those 2 sets of children and of course the birth was in a rural area with mid-wives and birth attendants.
DeleteAsk a gynea if a mothers untreated infection can cause her child blindness or better still Google it.
CS is a good option if she can't access complete treatment of the herpes.
There is no cure for herpes. It is a lifetime affliction, just like HIV. Madam pastor, “cream” cannot do anything for you. You guys need to visit a proper hospital, there is a daily drug for herpes. You MUST have CS, otherwise your baby will be blind.
DeleteThe back to back episodes you and your husband are having is due to not taking medicine. The forty’s is at risk of being a carrier as you are not being treated for this. Herpes is a big deal but not popular in Nigeria. Good luck in your quest to do the right thing for your child.

It's better you visit a federal medical centre ma'am for proper examination and treatment. Please don't joke with matters like this ok. You will be fine 🤗🤗🤗
ReplyDeleteNawa o
DeleteTell you husband to treat his side chick or dick as well to stop all this back and forth
DeleteThis is serious. What is the cause of the repeated episodes of herpes infection you are both having ?The answer to this question will help you get a permanent solution to the recurring problem. Please visit the hospital and see your doctor, By the way ,have you started your ante natal clinic?
ReplyDeleteGo to the hospital and seek medical advice
ReplyDeleteI wish you safe delivery 🤗❤️
Herpes does always reoccur.. Some factors trigger its reoccurence, like stress, fever and d likes. Once a carrier remains a carrier. So if birthing by CS will reduce or completely eradicate the chance of your baby getting it, i think it's best to opt for it
ReplyDeletePoster, please follow this advise after going to the hospital to check yourself properly.
DeleteMadam, you n your hubby should go see a doc.
DeleteThis your matter no be for here o, na only doctor fit settle your matter, not on blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat do I know?
ReplyDeleteMay God heal you guys 🙏🏿
ReplyDeleteSome advice are better received from healthcare professionals. Carry yourself to Mary Stoppes. You can reach them on Instagram or a simple online search. They were really helpful when I had a botched abortion.
ReplyDeleteMadam pls go to the hospital and get a good gyne to observe you well,don't risk the life of the baby mbok..get treated fast..you can have a CS done birth if you're scared
ReplyDeleteGod's healing upon you 🙏🙏🙏
We have been to the hospital. I was given a cream as I can’t use any drugs now cos of the baby. But my hubby has been using both cream and drugs. Yet it still keep on coming back
ReplyDeleteGo back to the hospital and give them feedback so they take another action. Also, I think you should avoid having sex with your hubby for now till you both get cured so you don't keep sharing it.
DeleteI pray you get the help you need.
May God see u through.
DeleteOh dear I'm sorry..keep using the cream while praying to God for perfect healing ok! Dr Jesus is fixing it,just believe..I will be praying for you 🙏🙏stay strong 🤗🤗
DeleteWhich hospital? When I was TTC, I went to the hospital but it was a general consultant who only spent 5 seconds with us then administer drugs.
DeleteI had to look for a fertility gynae who although expensive, the result of my two sessions with him and Gods grace arrived on Friday.
So, I implore you to visit a very good hospital without minding the money being expended.
FMC's, Teaching Hospitals are still the best so far.
Good luck
Yes, reinfection is possible because the scars are not properly healed. I assume you both are still sexually active or at least kiss and hug. Yes. Herpes is that easy to spread. One person should leave the house for a period of time while the other thoroughly disinfects the house treats him/herself.
DeleteRemember you can only manage your episodes not get a complete cure
Stop having sex with him to prevent getting reinfected.
DeleteHope it is not that you husband is having it raw outside. I mean hope he is not cheating. Because why does it keeps reoccurring after treatment.
DeleteHERPES IS NOT CURABLE, IT CAN ONLY BE MANAGED. Episodes will keep on reoccurring
DeleteHave protected sex and under no circumstance should you engage in oral sex. If you can, opt for CS. You will be fine.
DeleteUnfortunately there is no cure for herpes.. u can only prevent the symptoms, don't even risk it, just opt for cs
DeletePlease visit a reputable teaching or private hospital, just as others have advised. Your gynaecologist would have to diagnose the specific STI in order to prescribe the correct course of treatment. E.g. treatment for genital warts and herpes are different so make sure both you and your partner rerun the full battery of tests. Vaginal delivery is possible for herpes sufferers but you must ensure you and your partner fully comply with the prescribed treatment plan. Good hygiene particularly hand washing must be practised upon birth and keep baby protected from family/friends/visitors with visible facial sores or too much external handling until they have developed some immunity around the 3-6 month mark.
DeleteSo much empathize with you.
ReplyDeleteDo not fret for it only leads to evil...Psalm 37:8
Like sdk said, seek medial help and do not be ashamed to
do so, for even Jesus said that "the sick needs a doctor..."Mark 2:17
Now is the time to seek the Lord. Immerse yourself, you and your husband in
the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament. Repent of your sins (if you have not
done so). And he says that in all things, he works for the good of those
that love him Rom. 8:28
On another note, it pays to obey the teachings of Jesus. It is a life
of peace indescribable.🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
So comforting!🤗🤗
DeleteI agree with you today 👍
Delete👌👌👌
DeleteDivine healings! And God will take control...Please go and visit a doctor and be rest assured that your information is safe with the doctor as it will be treated confidentially..Even if it leaks out, you can file litigation against the hospital..Please take it very serious and see your doctor regularly.. Jehovah bu Eze
ReplyDeleteIt's well with that baby
ReplyDeleteAmen and also the parents.
DeleteCS is the answer
ReplyDeleteMadam please get medical help all through your pregnancy journey so you don't put your baby at risk. Safe delivery in Jesus name.
ReplyDeleteI feel for for you madam,go to God and hospital,that is all u need,and try taking some kind of blended fruits I heard it cures alot or relieves symptoms of all kinds of health problems
ReplyDeletePlease, please, and please, go to the hospital. See a gynaecologist, don't be checking google all the time. This is your health, and that of your unborn child we're talking about o.
ReplyDeleteToo much sickness & disease and people think that I am crazy for being too careful..
ReplyDeleteThere are two types of HVS..
ReplyDelete1.oral 2 genital.
Locally some people see it on their lips and tag it to be night fever..... But this disease is highly infectious both on adult and children.. This infection shows up sometimes immediately or after like 3weeks.
The first stage of it is the oral virus that appears around your lips or toungue n genital stage 2 of it.
The virus has no cure for now.. But you could take some antibiotics and immune boosters to slow it down from reoccurring so soon...
You need to take alot of fruits and visit your doc on the kind of antibiotics you should take bcs of yur baby... I also advice you please kindly give birth via CS please for the sake of having a healthy baby ok.
May God heal your family
Just to stress.... Genital herpes isn’t stage 2 of oral herpes. They are different and caused by different kinds of herpes virus usually
DeletePlease and please, HSV 1 doesn't graduate into HSV 2. Except perhaps oral sex occurs and a carrier of HSV 1 transmits it in the process to his/her sexual partner. And kindly note that it is a viral disease and HENCE ANTIBIOTICS ARE A NO NO!
DeleteThere aren't 2 stages but 2 entirely different strains causing the oral and genital herpes respectively.
DeletePoster talk to your physician, they have your history, can do physical examination and are in a better place to give medical judgement.
Make sure you and hubby dose up on immune boosters Too, fruits, vegetables, Vit c, Zinc, Glutathione for your husband too.
If you must have sex with hubby for now you both should use protection.
ReplyDeleteThere are female condoms that will help you b it b prevent re-infection.
Also....stop seeking medical assessment online. Go to your gynea. Lots of blood test.
You may need to perform cs for your baby.
There is no need to know how you caught it. What's important is that both you and hubby are working together to resolve the situation.
Herpes virus has no cure, you remain a carrier for life. You can only manage your episodes. Up your intake of vitamins to boost your immunity and see your doctor also. But if you're looking for a cure, there's none.
ReplyDeletePregnancy is an immunocompromised state.The herpes simplex virus can lie dormant in the body system but any condition that compromise immunity will make it reactivated.Dear poster,just inform your obstetrician of your medical history.
ReplyDeleteDid your husband infect you or what?
ReplyDeleteHerpes is not curable but can be managed and some factors would make it to reoccur.
You can't even take strong antibiotics cus of your pregnancy. You and your husband have to stay away from sex completely for now or use protection.
Seriously only jesus can fix this.
Speak healing every day over you and your husband.
Two of you should come together plead the blood and agree the finished work of jesus is manifest in your situation he took your infirmities, shame , discomfort on the cross by his stripes you are healed! Miracles happen have faith!
I don't get it. Did your husband infect you? Did he cheat on you and got infected? I don't know how this disease work. Please, doctors in the house, ya'll should enlighten me.
ReplyDeletePls wbat is the cause of this herpes
ReplyDeleteGo to the hospital poster, you may need to go through c/s. All the best
ReplyDeleteHerpes is an STI. Who infected the other? I won't forgive a partner who infects me with an STI.
ReplyDeleteMadam u said u are scared but u still strolled majestically enter SDK yard to ask questions..abeg u ain't scared one bit cos if u were na hospital u for don go.
ReplyDeletePls me let ask o..who infected who..I'm sure it's ur hubby and as a good wife na u will swallow d shit and d tissue paper join.if d reverse is d case,oga for don fling u commot for house tey tey.. women always at d recieving end
Just know you are having that baby through CS if you want a healthy baby and please do not kiss that innocent child when you give birth to avoid infecting the baby.
ReplyDeleteComing out from Google now
ReplyDeleteRead many pages about it now
Please u must go CS to save ur child.. Is not curable.... But Jesus is the way now... U need to focus on God now... Ur healing will surely come from God
I was diagnosed with herpes a week before I gave birth to my baby girl.The doctor gave me the tablet form of the cream you were prescribed. I had a vaginal delivery.This was over here in Texas 8 years ago.
ReplyDeletePlease see your doctor to advise you correctly.
Poster STOP HAVING SEX WITH YOUR HUSBAND. At least for now. The back to back flare ups are worrisome. Schedule a CS to be on the safe side
ReplyDeleteOnly your gynecologist and infectious disease doctor can suitably manage you as they have all your history and other details. I would recommend you register ASAP in a federal hospital or at least State.
ReplyDeleteHere’s some general recommendations:
1. Oral Acyclovir regimen from 36 weeks. It might eliminate the need for a CS but only your doctor can decide that
2. If no CS, your child gets tested when he’s born
3. Stop having sex with your husband and let him start Suppressive therapy with acyclovir so you guys can stop having reactivations.
Goodluck!
It is well with you poster. Please see an Obgyn and get proper advice. May God grant you safe delivery. It is well with you and your unborn child.
ReplyDeleteBoost your immunity with immune boosting supplements such as vitamin c 1000mg,zinc,beta glucan, silver Biotics, vitamin b complex etc. Those flare up occurs anytime Yr Immunity is compromised. Font forget to eat healthy, eliminate or reduce refined food, and learn to manage Yr stress levels.
