You should now focus on your pregnancy and you have to be stress-free and try meditation and boost your immune system, because pregnancy affects the immune system, try supplements, by consulting with your gyn.
You probably had the virus before, and It has been activated with you getting pregnant. You shouldn`t worry because there is almost no chance that the baby will get infected if you monitor your pregnancy and follow the instructions from your gyn.
   I myself have the HPV 16 type which doesn`t give any symptoms and is of high risk, but I can control it, and everyone can leading a healthy lifestyle. No smoking, no alcohol, no fast food. You have to relax and try not to think about it. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, especially the ones rich with beta carotene and folic acid. Your gyn will tell you the same.
Remember, as long as you test yourself at annual basis you will be ok, because everything can be treated.
let me know what your gyn said, because I too plan on having children and am a little bit scared :) But I have high hopes :)

You should go and consult with your gyn. because you probably have the type which is not related to the ones with warts. There are many many types of this virus and the most important thing is to boost your immune system.
I hope everything works out OK
