Jay29,
Yes, it is possible, but not recommended under certain circumstances (for instance, during an outbreak).

Are you, or a friend or family member, going through this decision currently? If this is you, have you talked with your doctor about your specific case of herpes, and what the pros/cons are regarding the different birthing options?
