Yes you can. Genital herpes is caused by herpes simplex virus 1 and 2. Genital herpes is more commonly caused by herpes simplex virus 2, but herpes simplex virus 1 can also cause it.
If you have sex with your boyfriend (vaginal, oral, or anal) or any kind of DIRECT skin to skin contact with the infected area, the virus can be spread to you.

I got identified with herpes simplex virus (type 2) about four years back, whilst I was still in college and had a stupid one-night stand. I realize lots of people say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date other men again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone who has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/K9nws everything changed.
Not only was I able to eliminate all remnants of the herpes simplex virus from my body in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This method provided the opportunity to be happy and experience true love again. Now I want to help others too by sharing this story.

.
This is an infection caused by the Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-l) which is associated with infections of the lips, mouth and face. HSV-2 is associated with genital lesions and is transmitted by sexual contact. HSV-2 can be transmitted to a newborn during vaginal delivery if the mother is actively infected.
Infection occurs after exposure to the virus through a break in the skin, or through mucous membranes. The virus spreads to nerve cells within the body and then to other skin surfaces. The symptoms include genital lesions, fever, vaginal discharge, sore throat and in some cases memory loss.
Avoiding direct contact with an open lesion will lower the risk of infection. Safer sex behaviours including the use of condoms may further lower the risk of infection.
Symptoms include “warty” tumours on the genitals, genital sores, itching of the genital areas and increased vaginal discharge.
Topical treatments to eradicate the lesions include trichloroacetic acid and podophyllum. Sex abstinence or use of condoms should be practiced until both partners are free of the disease.
Having a mutually monogamous sexual relationship with an uninfected partner.
Correctly and consistently using a condom greatly reduces the chance of acquiring an STI.
Using clean needles if injecting intravenous drugs.
Having regular check ups for STIs even in the absence of symptoms.
Anyone diagnosed as having an STI should:
Be treated to reduce the risk of transmitting an STI, especially a pregnant woman to an infant.
Follow the full course of medicine.
Avoid sexual activity while being treated for an STI.
Ensure that the partner is also diagnosed and treated.

Yes, you can get herpes simplex one (or HSV-1) in the genital area. If your boyfriend has a cold sore and then performs oral sex on you it is possible that he could give you genital herpes. If it were me, I'd just wait on the oral sex until the sore has dissappeared just to be safe. As far as having a baby, whether or not you have herpes will not matter until the actual time of delivery. It does not cause any birth defects. However, if you have any sores on your genitals from the herpes at the time of your due date you will be required to undergo C-section as the baby can become infected if (and ONLY if) you have it vaginally.

ok, now herpes simplex one is on your mouth, herpes simplex two is on your genitals. That is the only difference. It is the same disease. So yes.
