Question
My husband has Hepatitis B surface antigen+ , and I am currently pregnant. I am worried about whether the baby will be affected and whether it will be inherited by the child. What precautions should I take during pregnancy, and do I need to take medication?
Answer
Hepatitis B is a contagious disease that does not inherit to the next generation. If a pregnant woman has antibodies in her body, it has no effect on the fetus, and medication is not necessary. The newborn can receive the Hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours after birth. For your husband’s condition, it is recommended to receive timely and correct treatment to recover as soon as possible, and pay attention to the unique efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
