So I never got a cold sore before!! I just got one last night. They hurt may I add. I heard pregnancy brings them on. Once you get a cold sore you are always prone to them ...i'm pretty sure. So has anyone only got a cold sore while pregnant. Will they continue after the baby? I am having a stroke... I was really fortunate before...lol. Well thanks to anyone that can help.

I also get cold sores. I was about to get one the other day but i use Abreva it really works but u have to put it on right when you start to feel it coming. Which if you've had as many as i've had u would know when ur about to get one. But if u catch it on time with the abreva it will never actually pop out. Its a tiny tub and kind of expensive (about $17) but is well worth it and it last a long time.

ugh, you poor thing! i can relate- as i have one RIGHT NOW! i have been using a clear gel called Campo-Phenique that is safe to use during pregnancy. we're not supposed to use a lot of the other stuff as it can be harmful to the babies! however, there are a lot of natural remedies- i took the whole day off yesterday and napped- the more exhausted & stressed you get- the more they tingle and grow. it's truly terrible. i really hope yours goes away quickly and you can get some relief soon!

In regards to cold sores....I have gotten them virtually my whole life and yes they hurt!! and itch, and are sooooo annoying, not to mention the fact that they make you feel like you have leprocy and everyone is staring at you!!! I generally get cold sores when I am sick or exhausted. since being pregnany I have felt sooo run down and tired and I have felt two cold sores coming on. I have been able to stop them in their tracks by going to bed ASAP and getting some sleep. I also have a prescriptin for valtrex which is actually herpes medacine, but a cold sore is herpes on your mouth!!! ahhh gross I know! but anyways the way valtrex works is you take it immediately when you feel a cold sore coming on and it stops it. It is the only thing that works for me, creams do nothing for me. And it is pregnancy compatible!!!!! Good luck with those nasty little buggers!!!

Hiya,
Coldsores are caused by the herpes virus. This virus can lay dormant in your system for months, years even! If you're anything like me, I get cold sores when I am run down in general - ie had a cold/flu etc etc.
I got 1 cold sore in my first trimester but touch wood I haven't had any since!
As for them coming back after baby is born, that is down to you and your immune system. Triggers can be sunlight, low immune sytem etc etc - get some zovirax in the house just incase.
From what I've read, it's better to have had a cold sore before baby is born as it means baby has anti-bodies (or something like this) for the virus.
