Cold sores?

[Nurse 26]

I dont normally get them but i have 2 that came out today

One on each side of my mouth, really sore

Not sure if they are pregnancy related, but here alot of people talking about getting spots.

Anyone else getting these?

i did chick, never get them untill im pregnant its when your bodys a bit run down or working hard which i suppose is a good sign. Dont use any cold sore creams though, your not allowed i checked with chemist, i swore by the compeed patches but they are quite expensive and i ran out so used germoline cream before bed and they were gone the next morning Hope they clear off soon xxxxxx.

Ive had coldsores at the start of both of my pregnancies, and this time ive had quite a few after aswell. i hate them, i can handle spots but coldsores make me feel so mingin! x

I know, they are really sore and painful when i eat

Oh i hope u dont get anymore after these have gone. Hopefully its just your body getting used to LO settling in! As annoying as they are, i actually saw on TV that its good to get one in pregnancy, as ur baby will have built a caertain amount of immunity to them, so that once they are born, they cant become ill from other ppl with the herpes virus. Aparantly its very dangerous to newborns and left this baby on the TV with brain damage. So its worth it in the end! x
