You can have children while living with genitial herpes.  Women that had it before  they get pregnant can have the baby even vaginally  and the baby won't get it , your doctor will probably ask you take antiviral drugs before you deliver but your baby has already build up his immune system against it. If you contracted herpes while you were pregnant you should probably have a c-section.
