Hi Doctor, I was diagnosed with Hsv 1 n 2 a few years back, is my pregnancy consider high risk? I'm afraid to pass it to my baby, what precautions should I take and would prefer a vaginal birth, what are the risk?

Having a past HSV infection does not render your pregnancy to be at high risk. The only concerns are related to new, recent infections or recurrent HSV infections during pregnancy. Since you already had have a past infection, the chances of you transmitting this to your baby is very low and vaginal delivery is the recommended mode of delivery. If you have reinfection, that you may need Acyclovir from 36 weeks onwards although vaginal delivery is still recommended.
