Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 DH and I have been thinking about ttc #2. Our 3 year old ds has autism. We are doing the DAN approach, but haven't gotten far enough along in the process to try antivirals yet. (Our DAN wants ds's gut issues resolved first). Anyway, I have a history of getting cold sores especially during pg. I strongly suspect this has something to do with ds's asd, but of course I can't say for sure. I just know there is a herpes virus in my body, and suspect that I also had some sort of infection during my pg as well. I had lots of trouble breathing during my pg with ds, that suddenly got better when he was 3 months old after I went on antibiodics for a week due to injuring my toe. I've been experiencing similar breathing troubles lately and don't know if it's just allergies or something else going on. Either way, we're wanting to ttc again in the next few months and I think my doc might find me nuts if I just schedule an appt in hopes of getting antibiodics just in case:) I'm wondering what suggestions anyone might have for how to address this issue during pg, especially as it relates to the herpes virus that causes cold sores. Has anyone gone on Valtrex during pg to prevent your baby from getting the virus, and if so did you have trouble, reservations, or negative effects from it? Were you on it prior to pg, or did you start once you were pg? Did your doctor give you a hard time getting a script for it even if you don't have genital herpes? Am I completely nuts, and this is not a good treatment during pg? Any suggestions/advice on what to do during pg to hopefully prevent asd would be appreciated.
