No, a pregnant woman has the LEEP after the pregnancy has ended.

Is there pain associated with a leep biopsy?

I have not had LEEP, so I can not fully respond. I have been
told that it is similar to the Colposcopy procedure and I have had
that multiple times with no issues of pain.
The LEEP can be done under general anesthesia in a surgery
center or hospital or it can be done with a local cervical block in
the physician's office.
I will be having the LEEP procedure soon and have chosen to have
it done with the local block in my gynecologist office. My
physician and I discussed this and he feels that I am a good
candidate for the in office procedure. As I said to him, how much
more painful will the cervical block be than would be the stick for
the necessary labwork associated with anesthesia and the IV that
will be required for anesthesia. While it may be minimally
uncomfortable for a brief moment, I am of the opinion that it is
best to avoid anesthesia when possible. Most surgical complications
come from the anesthesia and not the surgery itself, so why take
unnecessary risk.
After I have had my procedure done, I will come back and update
you to tell you, based on the level of pain, should I have to do it
again in the future, if it will done with the local or with general
anesthesia.

The LEEP has much less discomfort than the biopsies at the
colposcopy.
Asked in Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
I had a leep produrer done 5 weeks ago so can your husand give you back hpv?

The LEEP procedure does not remove HPV from your body; it
removes abnormal cells from the cervix that have been damaged by
HPV. It is not normally recommended that a couple begin using
condoms after treatment for cervical cell abnormalities. Talk to
your health care provider for advice specific to your
situation.
