yes, many people have herpes and still have children, the natural way. But if you have an outbreak and are about to go into labor, the Dr. will do a c section, so your baby will not become infected. A friend of mine who has four babies has herpes and she concieve the ol natural way and gave birth to them the same, and they are alright with no infection.

Just because u are taking the medication doesnt mean it will clear ur herpes up it just stops the out breaks being so severe. Having sex while u are having an outbreak should really try to be avoided as this is at the time when it is more contagious. hope this was of help
take care
