Q. What happens if you have a herpes outbreak during your pregnany? I am 26 weeks pregnant and had an outbreak. I had my first outbreak a couple months before I became pregnant. Is there any risks in getting an outbreak during pregnancy? And is it ok to take valtrex? My doctor told me to take 3 grams a day. Just looking for other people's experience on this.
Yes, it was my dear husband who gave it to me, but he only has the oral kind, I have the *other* kind.

A. it is fine to have an outbreak during pregnancy as long as you dont have one within a month of giving birth. then its too risky to pass on to the baby. you say that you husband has oral herpes and you have the "other" kind. you really probably both have the same strain, but oral herpes can pass to the genitals through oral sex and genital can pass to oral. but really, the strains are different. you likely have the same strain that your husband has on his month, just in a different area. that is a good thing, it is a milder strain and your outbreaks will occur less often and come even less often and be more mild as time passes.
Are excessive nosebleeds during pregnancy a sign of high blood pressure?
Q. I know that a bloody nose is normal during pregnancy but when its everyday and runny sometimes could this be a sign of high blood pressure?
A. If you can't get the bleeding stopped within 10 minutes and the nose bleeds happen frequently each day, then contact your doctor.

Here's an excerpt from the article on how to avoid nose bleeds:
Can I do anything to avoid getting a nosebleed?
� Drink extra fluids to help keep all of your mucous membranes well hydrated.
� Blow your nose gently. Aggressive blowing can lead to nosebleeds.
� Try to keep your mouth open when you sneeze.
� Avoid dry air, especially in wintertime or in dry climates, by running a humidifier inside your house and not overheating your bedroom. Also stay away from irritants like smoke, which you should be avoiding anyway.
� Use a lubricant to prevent nasal dryness. Some experts recommend petroleum jelly. Others suggest a special water-based nasal lubricant that is available over the counter at pharmacies. Saline nasal sprays or drops can help, too.
� Don't overuse medicated nasal sprays or decongestants. They can dry out and further irritate your nose.
Hope this helps!
Best Wishes & Congratulations!

A. Yes, usually anything over 100 is considered a fever. Take some Tylenol - safe during pregnancy. It should help your temp go down. Don't worry. Many women get sick and run a fever during pregnancy, as long as you aren't burning up for many days you're fine. Call your doc in the morning if you're still sick.
What kind of acne/facial scrub and facial moisturizer is best during pregnancy?
Q. Like many women, i have been breaking out really bad since I got pregnant, and the cold weather and wind doesn't help very much either. What facial scrub and moisturizer do you use that is safe to use during pregnancy? I've heard that Aveeno is really good, I would just like to get some advice before I spend the money on something, since that stuff is expensive. Thanks a bunch!
A. I was just reading something online at parents.com about how certain facial cleansers and moisturizers are harmful during pregnancy cause they soak into skin and get in blood streams, you need to ask your doc, he may even be able to prescribe you something. With my first my doc told me to wash with a non soap cleanser. Even if its not for your face.
