quick question

i have hpv and i had a breakout since i got pregnant and got 4 warts taken off with laser about 2 months ago, they outside not internal, my boyfriend( who gave me hpv) had them and he put some liquid that burnt them off and just yesterday i saw that he is full of warts again, my question/concern is if i had them on the outside is it assumable that i have them internally too? i know that if i have them internally i have to have the baby via c-section and im scared  i really wanted to have my baby normally

You know, I have hpv and herpes and my doc didn't seem concerned at all about the hpv. he said if I was having a herpes outbreak that I would need a c-section but not if I had an hpv outbreak.

really? im concerned that my baby might get it if i have it vaginally? isnt it obvious that he would get it with contact or how is he NOT affected?

You will probably have a c-section to prevent HPV from infecting your baby

really!?   i really wanted this baby to be born vaginally since it is my first and i am having in mexico, and i dont like the way they do c-sections

See if you can have it in the states or Canada whichever is closer to you at the moment right now

I would just ask your OB. I honestly don't think it's an issue. I'm going to google it. The reality is is that so many women have HPV and don't even know it and have babies. I don't think it's dangerous liek herpes is.

 everyone tells me that but i cant i dont have insurance and my parents who live in the states wont help my unless i move in with them, and i think certain insurances (like the one we have) dont take you after 6 months and im almost 7 

I have it too, and recently I had posted a post wondering if I would have to have a c-section. The only difference between the two of us is that I have never had an outbreak...well, never noticed one, I wouldnt know what to look for. But I havent noticed anything out of the norm.

(HPV that is)

If you don't mind me asking.. what are the side affects your baby can have if u have GH?

I'm not completely done readiing stuff yet, but so far everythign says it's rare to pass teh infection to the infant and if it does, it's even rare for it to cause any problems. The last page I just read said it is not a sole reason for c-section. Although it did differentiate between internal and external warts. It sounds like to me though chances are it is no mopre dangerous during delivery then during pregnancy, meaning, if you have a breakout during pregnancy, it may have already infected the infant.

Quoting Sarai G:“ what has your doctor told you?”

my docs havent really made such a big deal about it. I had normal paps until I got preg. my doc did a colo, but couldnt do a biopsy because I am pregnant, but she says everything is ok. then I changed docs. at 30 weeks (34 weeks now) and my new doc made it seem like it was no big deal, but I still wonder if I need a c-section even though I havent noticed anything. I am scared that I could be having outbreaks and not know it, or they could be internal.

so that means that my baby is infected already?!

It can cause all sorts of problems. The number one issue being brain damage. Thats what my doc said anyway. i think it can potentially kill your infant as well. My doc said if it was not a FIRST outbreak then it's not as dangerous because your baby should already have anti-bodies, but that they would do a c-section regardless. If you are not having an outbreak or signs of one then you shoudl be fine. I'm planning a vaginal but my doc also suggested taking valtrex for the last 4 weeks just in case. I haven't gotten them yet. GH is very dangerous to a baby if you are having an outbreak, otherwise they don't consider it an issue, more of a personal choice.
