What Else Can A Baby Get By Birth If The Mother Is Having Herpes?

Hi i need information a.s.a.p. I had my daughter September 22nd and she has been sent to the ICN for fast breathing, and not eating much... I have herpes and am so scared she contracted it from me. She hticas been on antibiotics for I assume 4days. She eats fine now and her breathing is a lot better. Though she still breathes fast sometimes. Now I've been so scared crying and upset. I took my pills one week prior to delivery. She was a week early also. She weighed in at 6lbs5oz and 18.5 inches long. I need hope here. Today I went to the bathroom because I felt an itch. I took a mirror to look at my vagina and saw two blisters. I wonder if this is bc I am stressed or could I have been having a silent outbreak during delivery(5days ago) and it's deciding to blister. I really am scared. Just wish I opted for a c-section so my baby would be ok. Are there other things that could be wrong with my baby besides herpes? Oh and they looked at my vagina and saw no signs of a blister. And I have had herpes for about two years plus. Please just give it to me straight. I need to be somewhat prepared for when my daughters test results come back Thursday. I have been waiting forever.
