I have been plagued with cold sores all my life. Hopefully for you it’s a 1 off! Baby will be absolutely fine 😀 Compeed cold sore patches are brilliant. If you do get cold sores once baby arrives, that’s when you need to be mega careful. The patches are ace as they create a barrier as cold sores can be super dangerous for little ones. When my son was born I had 5 at once and I couldn’t kiss him 😢
I get them but just had Covid and then had a flare up and now a tounge flare up. For your lip Just buy some cold sore cream and apply and it should be fine in a few days x you can check with the pharmacist too if you want it confirmed x
Thank you all for your advice! I don't feel too worried now ☺️
Difficult to say without a picture but I am 34 weeks and have a cold sore for the first time in my life as well!! Spoke to a GP about it and he said it’s normal for things like this to arise during pregnancy as pregnancy is an immunosuppressant. It won’t harm the baby. Doctor can’t help unfortunately. I recommend getting those tea tree acne patches to put on. Dots for Spots on Amazon are good.
