Can a person with herpes get pregnant?

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here for consultation. Can you get pregnant with herpes?

Doctor's answer:

During a herpes simplex virus outbreak, pregnancy should be avoided. Do not conceive during a herpes simplex virus outbreak. Therefore, pregnant women with a history of genital herpes should consult the prenatal diagnosis department of a regular hospital for pre-natal genetic counseling and undergo relevant tests before planning pregnancy. This is a normal physiological phenomenon.
Breast tenderness during pregnancy: Some women may experience breast tenderness around the 40th day of pregnancy due to the large secretion of estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin by the placenta and chorionic villi, leading to breast enlargement. Severe cases may persist throughout the entire pregnancy and require no treatment.
