I had three cold sores for my pregnancy and was just completely miserable. I knew I was in the middle of the woods, but I would still put on rubber gloves and rub my face and hands. I didn’t think much about it because I didn’t know what to do. Thankfully, the first year of my pregnancy there were no cold sores, but I wasn’t prepared for it.
Cold sores are common in pregnancy and are mostly harmless. However, it’s important that you see a doctor if you think your baby might have cold sores or other skin conditions that could be caused by infection or pregnancy.
I had cold sores once and it was horrible. I was in my second trimester and I was on my hands and knees trying to clean out my uterus, which was oozing, yellowish-green, and sticky. My uterus was bleeding out, which made my head feel like it was splitting. After a long (and painful) soak in warm water, I had my first (and last) cold sore, which made me cry.
I know cold sores can be painful, but I have never thought of them as any kind of indication of labor. I do know that there are some things that can cause cold sores that you would not expect. One of those things that I don’t think of as being “obvious” is a baby who is born a month early. It seems like a bit of a coincidence, but it is.
I had a cold sore the day I gave birth to my baby boy, but that didn’t mean I was done with cold sores. I have had other cold sores and they are just as painful. Having a baby the age of my ex-boyfriend is no guarantee of anything (he’s about to turn 31 after all), but my first cold sore was so intense that I couldn’t even cry.
We have all had the cold sore you just described. As soon as I started having a baby I began seeing a pattern and became less and less afraid of the sores. Now that I am pregnant again, I have had the cold sore once again and it is still a thing for me. I am not sure if it is a result of my second pregnancy having more pressure than my first, but I can tell you that my son wouldnt have been born if I had had a cold sore.
Your first cold sore is caused by pregnancy hormones and is nothing to be fearful of. You will recover after your baby comes, and after a couple days the sores will go away. You will probably not be able to do much about it, however if you do decide you need to, there are some things you can try.
There are a few things you can do: If you have a cold sore, you can relieve it with fever medicine. If you have a history of having a cold sore, you can take a teaspoon of baking soda and a few drops of honey and mix it with a cup of hot water. Make sure your baby is drinking enough water and that he is not using any water-based medications. Also, be sure to keep all of his medications in one place.
There are many ways to deal with a cold sore or fever. So if you just want to get rid of the sore, you can either wash it with a mild soap or try ibuprofen for the fever. Try another cream for the sore if it’s not getting any better. You can also try an over-the-counter antibiotic for the sore while you’re at it.
In the case of cold sores in pregnancy, you must be careful not to over-treat them because they can cause sepsis. It is also important that you take out all the medications in the area and not leave any open. If you can’t get rid of the sore, it is important to make sure you take medication for the fever and that you are careful to not over-treat it.
