My husband has hepatitis B, I don't, can I have children? Children

Patient's question:

My husband has hepatitis B, I don't. Can I have children? Will the child be infected?

Doctor's answer:

Guidance: This situation is best addressed by administering the hepatitis B high-efficiency immunoglobulin three months after the 7th, 8th, or 9th month of pregnancy. After birth, the child should receive the first dose of high-efficiency hepatitis B immunoglobulin and 30 micrograms of hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours. Subsequently, at the 3rd month, both the high-efficiency hepatitis B immunoglobulin and the 30 micrograms of hepatitis B vaccine should be administered simultaneously. Generally, this approach maximizes the likelihood of preventing the transmission of hepatitis B to the child. Breastfeeding is possible after the baby is born, as hepatitis B is not transmitted through the digestive tract. As long as proper hepatitis B mother-to-child transmission prevention measures are taken, breastfeeding can be performed.
