A member asked:
Is it possible your unborn child can get hpv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No worries: HPV is not transmitted to unborn babies. Once in a while a baby is infected during delivery if mom has HPV, but is quite rare even though genital HPV infections are common. If you are pregnant and have been diagnosed with HPV, discuss it with your obstetrician. But probably no serious worries here. Best wishes for you and your growing family.
