The
majority of pregnant women who have had genital warts
in the past but no longer do would be unlikely to have
any complications or problems during their pregnancy or
birth. Most children are born healthy to women with a
history of genital warts.
If you are
pregnant and have genital warts, there are a number of
treatments that can be used during pregnancy, though some
of the prescription medications cannot be used while pregnant
( Aldara and Condylox).
The
most common problem with genital warts and pregnancy is
that the warts can grow during the pregnancy. This is
due to hormone changes in the body during pregnancy. The
warts can grow in size and number making it difficult
for a woman to urinate, and bleeding can take place.
In
rare cases the genital warts have grown so large it makes
delivery harder. In very rare cases, babies who are born
to mothers with genital warts will develop the warts in
their throats. This condition is known as laryngeal papillomatosis.
This is extremely rare condition, but it must be mentioned
because it can be a life threatening condition for the
child.
