I am pregnant, and I have HPV. What is the effect for the baby? help me please!?

Answer 1

HPV is unlikely to affect your pregnancy or your baby's health. If you have genital warts, they may grow faster during pregnancy, possibly from the extra vaginal discharge that provides the virus with a moist growing environment, hormonal changes, or changes in your immune system. In most cases they won't pose any problems for you or your baby.

It's possible for you to pass the virus to your baby, but this doesn't happen very often. Even if your child does contract HPV, he's likely to overcome it on his own without any symptoms or problems. In the unlikely event that he gets the type of HPV that causes genital warts, he may develop warts on his vocal cords and other areas sometime in infancy or childhood. This condition, called recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, is very serious, but fortunately it's also rare.

Answer 2

The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV, or genital warts) is extremely common -- Planned Parenthood estimates that up to one out of 10 Americans have genital HPV infection. While there is a very small risk that the baby can develop laryngeal papillomas (vocal cord warts), the incidence is very low. The thinking for the past several years is to allow vaginal birth in these circumstances. Most authorities believe it is not necessary to do a cesarean delivery.

Answer 3

There will not be any adverse affect on the outcome of pregnancy or the baby. But it is advisable for you to undergo regular check up by pap smear or colposcopy or HPV testing for the evidence of precancerous changes in future.

Answer 4

Same thing happened to me, they will freeze them off after you have the baby and see if they are cancerous and no it won't effect the baby!
