Doctor's answer:

Hello, a hepatitis B carrier can have children. If the male partner is a hepatitis B carrier, the female needs to develop protective antibodies before pregnancy.
Advice: If the female is a hepatitis B carrier, she needs to undergo antiviral therapy during pregnancy. The pregnant woman should receive injections of high-titer hepatitis B immune globulin at the 7th, 8th, and 9th months of pregnancy. After the baby is born, one dose of high-titer hepatitis B immune globulin should be administered within 24 hours and again within one month. Additionally, the child should receive hepatitis B vaccinations at 24 hours after birth, at one month, and at six months.
