Genital Warts pregnancy
When I was pregnant with my first baby i developed genital warts that spread rapidly, i had some freeze treatment during pregnancy but it didn’t help as it was so active and they wouldn’t see me often enough to keep it at bay. Before pregnancy i had never had any symptoms of it. By the end of my pregnancy they was that severe the doctors and midwives was shocked and was even unsure if i would be able to deliver naturally. A month after birth they gave me some cream that cleared it up in weeks.
Does anyone know if i got pregnant again would the same be likely to happen as it was so uncomfortable and extremely embarrassing during labour?

I’m so sorry that happened to you. Hope your baby is healthy and well
Mine only started during pregnancy which they said is quite common and that I could have had it for a long time and it didn’t become active till pregnancy. Mine got very severe despite having freeze treatment during pregnancy as I couldn’t have it once a week. I was still able to have a natural labour but was very close to not being able to due to the severity. Once I gave birth they eased a little but didn’t go so once I’d stopped bleeding from birth I went back to the clinic and they gave me some of these strong cream sachet’s to use that cause your immune system to fight the warts which is incredibly painful and really burns but they did go away after about 2 weeks, you can’t use it during pregnancy tho unfortunately. 3 years later and I’ve never had it again but I do really worry if I get pregnant again it will come back and puts me off having another baby. I would say fight with the clinic to get freeze treatment to keep it from getting as severe as mine.
My little boy was absoloutly fine so try not to stress. And as tempting as I remember it is don’t shave because I think that’s what spread mine so much. And don’t be embarrassed either the doctors and midwives will have seen it before. Just speak to your midwife and try get as much support for it
