Answer:
Dear
Adriane,
In the
event that your child gets the type of HPV that causes genital warts,
she/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.
If you
plan to get pregnant and have genital warts or an abnormal Pap test
caused by HPV, get treatment before you get pregnant.
A pregnant
woman can pass HPV to her baby during vaginal delivery.
Human
papillomavirus (HPV) can cause various types of warts, most commonly,
genital warts.
If you
have genital warts you can still get pregnant but you also have a
risk of passing the genital warts onto you baby.
Genital
warts 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.
