Can hepatitis B virus carriers get pregnant?

Patient's question:

I have been married for over a year. Because in the early stages, I was diagnosed as a hepatitis B carrier, so my husband and I have been too afraid to have children, afraid that the child born might also get hepatitis B. I would like to ask the experts, can hepatitis B carriers get pregnant? What should be paid attention to? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis B carriers can become pregnant and have children as long as they take measures to prevent the transmission of the virus. This involves receiving an injection of immune globulin each month during the last three months of pregnancy, specifically in the 7th, 8th, and 9th months. At the time of birth, within 24 hours, the child should receive an injection of the hepatitis B vaccine and another injection of immune globulin at a different location. After that, the child should receive hepatitis B vaccine injections at months 0, 1, and 6. This way, a healthy baby can be ensured.
Liver disease is a condition that is difficult to fully cure. Friends with liver disease should always maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism. Only by doing so can they boost their confidence in combating the disease and believe that recovery is definitely possible.
