Caution: Herpes in Pregnant Women

A pregnant woman who has had herpes (a highly contagious infectious disease, is noted by painful and itchy blisters) should inform her obstetrician immediately. An active infection may be transmitted to the baby during delivery and cause numerous health problems like blindness, retardation, and even death. A cesarean delivery can prevent transmission.
