So I went to the doctor because they told me they found something abnormal in one of my routine prenatal exams... Didn't tell me over the phone. Said my doctor needed to speak with me...
Now my nurse practicioner told me I'd be dealing with her, not my doc, until my due date aproaches and delivery... Unless there was something wrong... So getting a call saying I needed to see him and he needed to talk to me made me nervous. I didn't even want to go to my appt.
I get there, wait forever in that little white room, then he comes in and sits in front of me after introducing his self... He looks slightly nervous, sighs, then tells me that I have HPV and I'm at stage 2. Explains that it's a cervical cancer and there are 5 stages before it's full blown cancer.
My eyes grew big... He sensed that and told me that at the stage it's in, it can be removed but... Not until after the baby is born because they can't put me to sleep, numb me up, give me drugs are cut anything out without risking harming the baby...
I guess that was supposed to make me feel better but, it's July and the baby isn't due until towards the end of December... So who's to say if by then it won't get to stage 5.? Where they can't go in and cut it out... And how the hell am I pregnant in the first place.???
My mother said this must be a miracle baby... That being said, will my child be o.k. and will I be able to have more.???

I am sorry to hear that you have HPV. I have it too. From what I am told by my gyne... this moves much slower than other abnormal cells. The stages that I know of are Normal, Atypical, Low Grade I II, High Grade (all called dysplasia) Then it is CIS cancer. HPV wold not affect getting pregnant. I am not a doc, and don't ever wish to take the place of one, but please double check, because cervical cells can go through many types of changes that are not cancer. Many times these changes will go away on their own. The changes can be caused by: Inflammation (redness and swelling), An infection (bacterial, viral, or yeast), Growths such as (benign, polyps, or cysts), Changes in hormones( from pregnancy to menopause)Talk with your doc about colposcopy, cervical and cone biopsy. Know that after the baby paps should be done every 3-6 months to gauge the cells after the baby.
