Hi,

HPV infections are common in sexually active women in child bearing age.
Usually this is a transient infection which resolves on its own in 90% of the women in less than 2 years.
In the remaining 10% it could be persistent and in such women monitoring by cervical smears is necessary.
HPV infections have no cure as such. But they can be prevented before a girl becomes sexually active by taking HPV vaccine.
So, there is nothing for you to do right now in pregnancy. After Delivery you could get the HPV DNA status and cervical smear done to reevaluate.
It will not affect your unborn child or mode of delivery in anyway.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
