[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cheating during maternity leave is a ridiculous idea, unless her maternity leave was two years long.

Cheating during pregnancy, however, could happen.  Some men have a weird pregnancy kink, and some pregnant women get very horny.[/quote]

Don't they check for STDs before birth though?[/quote]

Yes.  At least it was standard procedure to check all patients for STDs when I was pregnant.

I can't imagine an exhausted woman who is recovering from childbirth and taking care of a newborn 24/7 cheating on her husband.  That just does not seem likely at all.[/quote]

No. They do not test for herpes. It has never been standard procedure. You would need to specifically ask for the blood test for HSV. [/quote]

They ask you about it and you go to umpteen million prenatal appts before your baby is born.  If something like that is going on down there the doctor is going to notice it.[/b]

I do not think that Op's wife suddenly became contagious with Herpes years after they got married and while she happened to be on maternity leave.  She has probably been to the doctor since the birth for a follow up appt.  Yet, the doctor noticed no symptoms?

Whatever is wrong with Op is probably not his wife's doing.[/quote]

Uh, no. Not if you're asymptomatic.

[b]Herpes often lies dormant for many years. Childbirth is frequently a catalyst for initial outbeaks[/b].

Please do not bother replying to threads if you have nothing of value to add. [/quote]

+1 Pregnancy was what brought on my initial outbreak of herpes.  I only had a handful of partners before marriage and my husband was -and 15 years later- still is HSV negative thanks to Valtrex.  It sucks but it happens and it's not the end of the world.  And all the PPs are right.  My doctor told me that the standard STD panel doesn't test for herpes unless you roll up with what looks like an active outbreak.

Did you go throughout your pregnancy, childbirth and post natal appts w/o your doctor noticing your outbreaks?  That really seems extremely unlikely.[/quote]
