My doctor just told in my first meeting with him that there are chances my paps will get more abnormal during the pregnancy (I’ve had mild displasia for over a year now), but it will return to the same level after I have the baby.
He said it does not affect the baby like Herpes would, so they don’t do C-sections because of it.
Does having HPV affect my chances of getting pregnant or having healthy babies?
Having HPV does not make it harder to get or stay pregnant. The type of HPV you have should not affect the health of your future babies. But if you need treatment for abnormal cells (caused by HPV), the treatment could affect your chance of having babies. Ask your doctor if your treatment can impact your ability to get pregnant.
Typically the only way it would affect the baby is during delivery. If there are a lot of warts on the cervix or in the vagina near the due date, the baby may want to do a c-section to decrease the risk of the baby contracting the virus.
you would be put on antibiotic drips when you go in to have the baby…
No…I don’t think so. Have you been treated for it. If not why it’s very important to treat it. I had it treated before I got pregnant and I had nothing to worry about. I had it BAD i got a lesser treatment. It was a day surgery.
The doctor told me not to worry about it effecting the baby. I have HPV but I just had the positive test no other symptoms.
My cousin had this type and she delivered a healthy baby girl.. they looked more into hers after she gave birth
There is no evidence that babies can be infected with HPV prior to birth. How they choose to do delivery (vaginal or c-section) depends on your individual case. Many women do delivery vaginally, however, with no resulting infection in the baby.
i was told by my doctor that my unborn baby could catch HPV from me duroing labour i hope its not true and because of the fact i have it can my baby realy catch it by me just touching him and holding him? plz someone tell me the real answer cuz i need to no!
