HPV is a common sexually transmitted infection that can affect pregnant women, leading to health problems such as genital warts and cervical cancer. During pregnancy, the cervix is more susceptible to infections, increasing the risk of HPV transmission. To reduce the risk, it's recommended to get vaccinated, practice safe sex, get regular Pap tests, and limit your number of sexual partners. Although the HPV vaccine is not recommended during pregnancy, getting vaccinated before conception can help reduce the risk.
HPV can cause premature delivery or low birth weight in rare cases, but most infections do not pose a threat to the baby. To ensure a healthy pregnancy, it's important to understand HPV transmission and prevention. By getting vaccinated, practicing safe sex, and regularly visiting the doctor for Pap tests, women can reduce the risk of HPV transmission and ensure a healthy pregnancy for both themselves and their baby
