2. Depending on the lab, and your technician.. it is possible to receive an 80% guess. I did this at 13 weeks and was pretty impressed with the technician and it all made sense the way it was explained to me. We'll see in another 3 weeks if he was right.
3. your pregnancy is not considered at risk with HPV. I had HPV with my first pregnancy, developed DURING pregnancy and wound up with leisians that they had to remove right after she was born, as they were stitching me up, and I had a beautiful vaginal delivery. They did put me on antibiotics tho for quite a while... and by the time she was born, I was fine -- just had a few leisians.
1. totally fine esp for what you'll be doing 2. nope - you have to wait for the 20 week u/s 3. HPV is totally common in pregnancy. normally your immune system would have kept in check but b/c it is taxed now, it is hard for your body to do so. you do not have to have to colop - you can ask for the HPV DNA Pap. If you do agree to the colop tell that that you want NO biopsies of the cervix - as they should not be doing them, but they sometimes do. You are not high risk just because you have high risk HPV.
The only risk HPV could cause with your pregnancy would be if you had already had (before the pregnancy) surgery on your cervix because of it. That would make your cervix weaker, possibly leading to incompetent cervix, which could lead to bed rest or premature birth. But, since that hasn't happened, no worries.
A friend of mine had a little boy about five months ago. She, too, found out she had HPV during her pregnancy. Apparently this led to a slight thickening in her cervix, and she wasn't dilating properly during labor. She reached eight centimeters and stopped. Her doctor wasn't there, and the doctor on staff basically told her they'd need to do a c-section. Jessica immediately called her doctor, who arrived promptly.
From what I understand, she had Jessica start pushing while she (the doctor) stretched the cervix with her fingers. Apparently this worked and the baby was born vaginally.
