Cold Sores

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?

First time mom nervous about giving birth

I’ve just got my induction date for next week and after they told me I cried the whole way to my NST appointment. I feel like I have been suppressing my nerves.

Low- lying placenta

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!
