Genital warts are caused by the human
papilloma virus. I don't know what effect
it has on a child (possible reason to have
a c-section?) but it does put you at much
higher risk of cervical cancer.

I believe there may have been a chance to
give the virus tot he child during
delivery, but you said newborn, so i'm
assuming the baby is already here. I'd
ask your doctor, as this has to do with a
child, which makes it first priority.

The main risk there is to a new born or a
baby that is about to be born vaginally,
is the hpv virus can grow inside a persons
mouth and throat as well as in their
vagina. A newborn would not have the
immunity and could possibly develop them
in his or her mouth as well as on the
face.

If you have an outbreak before or during
delivery then you risk getting the virus
into the baby's eyes.When the virus enters
the eyes it can cause permanent blindness.
