YES it is.

It is possible to have a healthy baby when you have herpes. Doctors usually prescribe antiviral medication a few weeks before the baby is due to help suppress break outs. If there are no signs or symptoms of a break out at the time of birth then the mother can deliver naturally with very low risks of passing herpes on to the baby.

If the mother does have a break out then she should have a c-section. This can completely eliminate the risk of passing herpes onto a baby.

If you have herpes 3 months prior to getting pregnant, you body has developed antibodies and it is less likely that you would pass it to the fetus.

You want to get pregnant with out removing your IUD is this possible?

I am sure it is slightly possible but getting pregnant while having a IUD is a terrible idea. Most of the time a pregnancy while using IUD is an ectopic pregnancy which is when the fertilized egg is not in the uterus, this can cause death and the baby will not survive. If you by miracle got pregnant and it was not ectopic the baby can still be severely harmed so you must see a doctor ASAP.
