I was just told today by my mother that I had Condyloma (HPV)

I am 37 weeks and 3 days and I was just told by my mother that I had and was treated for Condyloma (HPV) when I was 8 years old. I underwent laser surgery while my parents where stationed overseas in Germany. I can not get a copy of my medical records and now I am scared that I will be unable to have my baby with out a C section. I've tried looking up information on line about Condyloma and pregnancy but have been unable to find anything. Anyone out there with any information on this. Please help. Thanks

No I have not told my OB. I just found out today myself. A little background. I was raped with I was a child and I really dont remember a lot of my childhood and somethings we just never talk about as a family. So I was given this information today by my mother who thought I should know because I am so close to my due date. Thanks

The greatest risk of transmitting it to your baby is if you are suffering from an outbreak at the time of delivery.... It is something you should discuss with your OBGYN to determine the best solution... frankly I would think you are lucky because now there is a reason to have a C-section which is much easier and has less risk to you suffering from things like incontinence after the birth. A C-section isn't that big a deal and doesn't really result in much of a scar if that is your fear. A good doctor will do it so that any scar is righ at the bikini line. They are much better now than they were 30 years ago.

Tell your doctor. They can do a test to see if you currently have it. Some strains of HPV go away on their own.

*I am so sorry to hear that happened to you.
You can call and talk to the nurse, usually. That way, they know if they need to make an extra appointment or schedule in time for that test when you go in next time.

I am guessing you have told this to your doctor. If not, you need to because he/she will know what is best for you and your unborn child.

I found this website for you..hope it helps.

Also you can look up genital warts and pregnancy to broaded your search. I typed it in google and got a bunch of returns.


**When is your next appointment with your doctor? Be sure to discuss this with him at that visit. I am so sorry you had to go through that as a child.
