Genital warts

Warts appeared during pregnancy and are getting worse

Had a couple before, now pregnant and they have multiplied noticeably. Is that a coincidence?

NoteMember experience, not medical advice. Symptoms overlap between infections and only a test can tell them apart.

Not a coincidence. Warts commonly grow or multiply during pregnancy, and they often shrink again afterwards.

Tell your maternity team. Some treatments used routinely are not used in pregnancy, so this needs to be managed by people who know you are pregnant rather than self treated with something from before.

This is what happened to me and the improvement after delivery was dramatic. Nobody had warned me it would flare, so I spent the third trimester convinced something was badly wrong.

Ask directly what it means for delivery. In most cases the answer is nothing, which is worth hearing from them rather than guessing.
