Pregnant With Genital Warts Posted: 03-28-06 15:19pm
Okay... I have been seeing an outbreak of
genital warts all over my genitalia...
On/in the cervix and I want to give birth
vaginally (of course I will do whatever is
best for my unborn child), but I just
never thought I would ever have to come
accross an issue like this if it were a
deciding factor as to why I wouldn;t give
birth vaginally.
Anyways, here is my story. I was a virgin
until I met my husband and as time went
on my husband had found out he has genital
warts and used medication for it and when
he told me about it, I of course said,
well we will have to get through this
diffiicult time, but I am and always will
be by your side. When I had my pap when I
was 8 weeks pregnant, it showed up
negative, but now 30 weeks into my
pregnancy, I have genital warts. I feel
so emotionally scared. I don't want
anyone in the room when I give birth now,
I just feel so digusted. I want to get
them roemoved, but to have them freezed in
my genitalia, good god, I can only imagine
how painful that is since it is such thin,
sensitive skin. I have cried so many
tears about this asking why me when I have
always been so careful. I am very worried
about my unborn child as well, I do not
want him to catch this nasty virus. What
the heck can I do, say, think? Has anyone
else given birth when they had genital
warts? Did they have anyone in the room
when they gave birth? What happened?

I gave birth and I have had visable
warts.. I had to have an emergency
c-section but it had nothing to do with
having genital warts.. Have you talked to
your doctor about this?? As you are I
also was worried about giving my son
genital warts. I know it is very scary
and also embarrising.. When I gave birth
to my son-my husband was there and my
best--i repaeat best friend.. They both
knew .. My friend knew beacuse I told her
because I knew that she would not judge in
no matter of the word.. Explain to your
husband that you just want him in there..
I'm sure he will understand..And to
everyone else that you do not want in
there when you are giving birth..Well if
they get pist off--screw them...Giving
birth is enough stress..Just tell them
that you just want your husband in there..
Also you could talk to your doctor and
the nurses and explain to them that you do
not want anyone to know about your having
warts..If they must discuss it it--have
the doctor or nurses ask them to leave the
room.... I never knew I had them untill I
got pregnant..The hormones during
pregnancy make them appear.. I too cried
my eyes out and was tottaly embarrased. I
eventually got over it as i'm sure you
will to..Everything takes time, but right
now the most important thing is you being
healthy and not getting stressed out about
what other people will think..I'm sure
there are a couple people around you who
have it also but would never tell..It is
one of the most common std's around.. I
hope I helped some or made you feel at
least a little better...If you have
anymore questiones--i'm here....--jade

My friend had 2 kids and she has genital
warts and she hadnt had an outbreak since
she found out she had it (when she was
pregnant with the first child), and they
had her deliver both kids c-section. If
it was me id do it c-section I wouldn't
want to put the baby at risk, just ask the
Dr. They know whats best.

O sweetheart, I just wanted to cry when I
read your post! I was in a very similar
situation as you with the same qs. I
didnt find out that I had genital warts
until very late in my pregnancy. I did
get some of them frozen off, and im not
going to lie, it hurt like heck. The
initial procedure wasnt too horrible, but
the ride home and after was painful.
But, ive heard of others who thought it
wasnt so bad. (tip:get calendula gel, and
apply that if you get them frozen) ok,
well I still had visible warts, but
c-sections are not done for genital warts
unless its obstructing the vaginal canal.
Your warts would have to be pretty big to
do that. I gave birth just fine (no
drugs either) and my baby is 2 and healthy
as can be. My doc also said that she's
delivered many babies through genital
warts. The chance of complictions during
a c-section is greater than the change
your baby may get something from you
having warts, u know? Also, my warts
went away after I gave birth, and are gone
to this day. So I dont think theyll come
ever (please, lord). I really truly hope
and pray that yours go away too, I feel
aweful for you having to go through this,
and I know you feel alone since its hard
to talk freely about this in the "real"
world. God bless you, and I hope it all
works out!!

I am also pregnant (18 weeks), and have
genital warts... when I first saw them I
cried alot...My bf was a virgin before he
was with me... so I gave it to him,
luckily he is VERY supportive!
Anyway, when I went for my first prenatal
appt. my doc. told me it was likely I'd
have to have a c-section...not only was I
devastated by this news, but terryfied! I
do want to give birth vaginally, and I've
been reading all I can about giving birth
vaginally with genital warts. In any case
I believe it is still MY decision, and I
don't generally trust doctors.

The problem of course with genital warts
is that you can have genatal warts without
even displaying a symptom. And I don't
mean genital warts in the dormant phase,
you can actually have active phase warts
that can transmit the disease - without
noticing at all. A very sneaky disease, so
I wouldn't take a chance with pregnancy
and vaginal delivery.

I am going through a really hard time with
the fact that I am now 14 weeks pregnant
and noticed some strange white bumps on my
"down there" area. The doctor told me it
was genital warts. I am devastated. She
said they may or may not be contagious,
but the what hell kind of answer is that
anyway? I just told my boyfriend of nearly
2 years about the HPV virus that I have
probably given him. He threw up for twenty
minutes. He was a virgin when we started
dating and I am feeling very shameful and
guilty and disgusting. I know it wont
affect my pregnancy, but it is defiantly
affecting my relationship and my
self-esteem. There are only 4 or 5 small
bumps smaller than these letters youre
looking at. My doctor said they probably
showed up because of the pregnancy hormone
and chances are they will go away after
pregnancy. I noticed on one of the posts
above that they did in fact disappear
after pregnancy. The doctor also said they
are benign? not cancerous? Anyway, I am
more worried about the emotional damage
this will cause to my boyfriend. He has
always been more than perfect to me, and i
feel i have let him down. If anyone has
advice on how to deal, please let me know.

Genital Warts Or Herpes? Posted: 12-03-07 20:09pm
I think and I am confused if you are
talking about herpes genitalis or genital
warts.
Genital wart are there all the time you
dont get outbrakes of Genital wart.
Now genital herpes yes you can get
outbrakes of it anywhere in your anatomy
but you may see them more often in the
genitalia.
IF you are having an outbrake of herpes
genitalis or if you are having venereal
warts you need to get a c-section is
unfair to your child to make them to go
thu your infected genitalia. You need to
remind your doctor when you are going to
deliver the baby. Usually he see the Warts
before you deliver the baby but he may not
know about your Herpes genitalis. You
need to have both very clear which one you
have and which one you don;'t have... Good
luck to you. or Godspeed.

i am 19 weeks pregnant, i do not have
warts right now but i did before i got
pregnant. I have HPV, a while ago i
noticed condyloma between my vagina and
anus. I got them frozen off, although it
was slightly uncomfortable, it wasnt that
bad and it was worth it. Trust me because
I'm a big wuss when it comes to pain. i
have not had any warts since then.
