Mike.. the chances of a newborn contracting the herpes virus during pregnancy is high.. They worry about it if the female is having an actual outbreak near the time of pregnancy with the baby passing through the vagina.. If she has an outbreak from the stress of the pregnancy they will usually deliver the baby via c-section.. Babies born in an outbreak can get herpes all over their bodies and can kill them.. So it's important that they be aware of the risks..
