Does a hepatitis B virus carrier become pregnant and transmit the virus to the baby?

Patient's question:

Lately, my boss has said that I don't look well and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes I feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm very worried about it affecting my health and work. I'm asking if a hepatitis B carrier can pass the virus to her baby during pregnancy.

Doctor's answer:

Patient, generally speaking, carriers of the hepatitis B virus should pay attention to regularly receiving high-efficiency immunoglobulin injections at formal hospitals during the 7th, 8th, and 9th months of pregnancy. To more effectively prevent the transmission of the hepatitis B virus to the child, the child should be vaccinated against hepatitis B under the guidance of a doctor within the first day or 24 hours after birth, and follow the 0-1-6 schedule for regular vaccinations. This can help the child's body develop protective antibodies and enhance the body's antiviral capabilities.
