   1 Find out if your Preggers
   #2 If so get to a doctor to find out how the f*ck HPV may affect your Preggerness
   #3 Pregnancy and an HPV infection can certainly complicate a pregnancy.

   Pregnancy can cause genitals warts to grow at a fast rate potentially causing the birth canal to be blocked or making urination difficult for the mother. This can be a reason for a c-section if the birth canal is obstructed. However, a c-section is not usually performed if only active genital warts are present.

   Rarely a mother can pass on warts and the HPV infection to the child. If it does occur, the child more commonly develops warts in the mouth and throat. It can be potentially life threatening to the child, but is treatable.

   In most cases an active infection is controlled by the immune system and with time becomes dormant; however, it is not possible to predict whether or when the virus will become active again.

   For example, one recent study followed more than 600 female university students who were tested every 6 months (Groopman 1999). Over the course of 3 years, new HPV infections occurred in more than 40% of the women. Most infections lasted about 8 months and then subsided.
   After 2 years, however, about 10% of the women still carried active virus in the vagina and cervix.
   In this study the persistent infections were most commonly with the virulent, cancer-linked types.

   Anyway go to your doctor for deep consultation and diagnosis.
