I am 39 weeks pregnant, my daughter has dropped so low that I can go into labor any day now. I am currently having a herpes outbreak. All my doctors say is to take acyclovir which hasn't been proven to even be safe while pregnant. What should I do! I want an emergency C-section to ensure that my daughter is safe & healthy.
