Is there any other reason that you OB wants to do a C/Section to deliver your baby? Warts are not an indication. They aren't a risk for your baby in the way that active herpes contact would be avoided. Warts surely don't look nice, but are of no danger to you. many women experience growth of their warts during pregnancy from a mild reduced immune system. They can be removed later in your doctor's office.

Extensive warts can bleed a lot if torn during a delivery therefore the recommendation for a c-section. Also if the warts extend up into the vagina there is some concern about the baby getting them in his throat. The warts can be removed surgically or with laser depending on the extent of them, but they generally get better spontaneously after delivery. You can always get a second opinion if desired.

Some providers recommend cesarean sections for any vaginal lesion that may be transmitted sexually during birth. This is especially true of Herpes Simplex vaginal infections that occur during the last 2 weeks of pregnancy. However, the evidence does not support a cesarean for everyone with genital warts. The size, location, and severity of your warts may affect your provider's decision to recommend a primary cesarean section for this condition. If you are uncomfortable with this recommendation, perhaps you should have a conversation with your health care provider about their reasons for this method of delivery. Good luck with your upcoming delivery!
You do not have to have a c-section. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology has specifically stated that women with genital warts can deliver vaginally. With regard to treating your warts there are several options I would advise you to complete the Gardisil vaccine series, and to consider either topical compounds that any physician can prescribe and/or surgical excision.
Outside my area of knowledge. The warts could have freezing treatment but may not be acceptable to you obstetrician
