Has anyone gotten prescribed meds during the last few weeks of pregnancy to avoid having any flare ups? I know they do that for genital herpes but i’m really hoping they can do it for cold sores as well cuz I don’t want to have a flare up as i’m approaching birth. If you were prescribed it how many weeks were you?

Hello! Has anyone here dealt with a low-lying placenta? I was referred to a specialist, and they want to do a cervix check, but I feel like it might be too early for that. Would love to hear about others’ experiences!
