Pregnancy And Genital Warts
I'm 38 weeks pregnant and just felt some bumps on/around my anus! I'm terrified. I think they're anal warts. I don't know how to speak to my husband about it or healthcare provider! I'm so embarrassed! We've been together for over 2 years and very faithful! So I don't know how this has happened!! How do I speak to him and them???

You could have had these for a long time and not noticed them. First you must speak to your midwife she will have seen this before. They might take a swab to confirm diagnosis. Your partner might have had them for ages and never noticed them. HPV does not pass to the baby in utero or delivery.
Just mention it to your midwife... She won't mind, if you can't say it out loud write it on a piece of paper and let her read it. Almost certainly skin tags they can become more obvious during pregnancy, or develop where there weren't any before, they should get a bit smaller when your hormones get back to normal.
Speak to your healthcare provider. Don't be embarrassed. He/she will have seen it all before.
yup. You are 38 weeks and almost "there" - so there will be plenty of time to mention it to a midwife or doctor when you are in labour
nothing to be done now. they will probably say, wait and see, and then attend to it sometime in the 6 weeks after the baby arrives ( post partum period)
