Can hepatitis B be transmitted to the baby?

Patient's question:

During my pregnancy, I didn't eat much and kept vomiting until I gave birth. After giving birth, I was diagnosed with. Will be transmitted to the baby?

Doctor's answer:

You have hepatitis B with a small triangle positive, which is contagious. In addition, mother-to-child transmission is one of the main ways hepatitis B spreads. If you have hepatitis B during pregnancy, there is a high possibility of transmitting it to your child. After giving birth, have you considered vaccinating your child with the hepatitis B vaccine? If you haven't vaccinated your child with the hepatitis B vaccine, the hepatitis B virus can still be transmitted through breast milk. It is recommended that you do not breastfeed your child.
In your case, it is still advisable to take your child to the hospital for a check-up on the hepatitis B panel after six months to see. If your liver function and HBV-DNA are both normal, there is no need for medication treatment at this time. Regular check-ups and careful monitoring are sufficient.
