    Here's what I found when I googled.

    You need to discuss with your Doctor what type you have, how advanced or low it is, if it is mainly outside your virgina or inside, and if there is a risk of cervical cancer, and can they burn the cancer cells whilst your pregnant if so, and how often you need to go to get checked during pregnancy.

    Is this why your parents don't like your husband? Because, he cheats on you?

    If so, your 21, maybe finding out this news, you should speak to your parents, who actually love you...

    Are you going to confront him and tell him that you know and your fear and concerns?

    You are young sweet don't handle this alone.


    No link has been found between HPV and miscarriage, premature delivery, or other pregnancy complications.

    Also, the risk of transmitting the virus to the baby is considered very low.

    If a pregnant woman tests positive for the high-risk types of HPV associated with cervical cancer, the doctor will monitor her during the pregnancy to watch for cervical tissue changes.

    In some pregnant women with HPV, the tissue changes may increase during pregnancy. If possible, doctors postpone treatment because it may lead to premature labor.

    If a pregnant woman has genital warts, the doctor will monitor to see if the warts get larger. Hormone changes during pregnancy can cause the warts to multiply or get larger. Sometimes the warts will bleed.

    Depending on the extent of the warts, the doctor may postpone treatment until after childbirth. But if the warts get so big that they might cause an obstruction in the vagina, they may need to be removed before childbirth.

    Genital warts can be removed surgically, with chemical treatment, or with painless electric current.

    Have your paps been normal up until now? Pregnancy hormones can throw off the pap results and give a false positive for HPV. Also, this doesn't "prove" that your husband has cheated on you, as some forms of HPV can take years to appear.

    If it's a definite positive there are ways that the virus can be spread to the baby, during birth. Your doctor will discuss these concerns with you before delivery, as it is his job! Worse case scenario, you have a c-section. (Which isn't a big deal AT ALL!)

    There is no cure for HPV and most of the time doesn't even show symptoms. The virus may or may not go away on it's own. If the dr was really concerned about it he would have spoken to you about a cervical biopsy (forget what it's called). Or he may have suggested more frequent paps to keep an eye on the abnormal cells, as HPV can cause cervical cancer.

    If they didn't go into a ton of detail I wouldn't worry too much about it, but do some research before you go back to the doctor so you know what questions you want to ask. Also, keep in mind that you are pregnant and this does some funky things with your body. For all we know your pap could come back clear and normal after delivery.

    Good luck and I hope I gave you some answers. If I find a good informative website I'll come back and post a link.
