Hello,
The problem of your baby was not due to the ailment of your mother in law.
You can take HPV vaccine if you wish to. This is mainly given for women who had no experience of sexual intercourse. If a women takes after that it is of not much use as the HPV (viral infection ) would have already occured in a lady who had sexual activity. This means the HPV vaccine is not 100% beneficial to you. According to the company mainly manufacturing this vaccine 'GARDESIL' it should be should be given to a women between 9 to 26 yrs of age.
However you can safely try for next pregnancy immediately, there are no side effects even if you take the vaccine.
Good luck
