I am worried about passing the virus onto my newborn. I have brought this issue up to my doctor a few times who reassures me I have nothing to worry about, but I am still freaked out from what I have been reading on the internet and in books. I would not want my innocent baby to be affected with this virus. If anyone has been through this same senerio please feel free to respond. Any doctors or nurses are welcome to elaborate on the subject.

 Never been through this, as I don't have this virus. But, I believe you have to have a c-section. A vaginal birth would pass the virus to the baby. I have read that the baby's immune system isn't strong enough to handle it and may end up in nicu, or possible die. That's what I have read. Im not a doctor, so I don't know.
I would talk it over with your dr. I would go for a c-section just for safe measure.
