Question

What precautions should pregnant women with Hepatitis B carrier status take when planning for childbirth?

Answer

Pregnant women with Hepatitis B carrier status should pay attention to active intervention treatments to effectively prevent the transmission of the virus to their children. Immediate administration of Hepatitis B immune globulin after birth, along with the required Hepatitis B vaccination, can significantly reduce the risk of their child contracting Hepatitis B. Additionally, it is recommended to have another dose of Hepatitis B immune globulin within one month postpartum to enhance protective effects. Under medical guidance, women with Hepatitis B carrier status can also safely breastfeed.
