Patient's question:
Should hepatitis B carriers have a cesarean section or a vaginal delivery? Which mode of delivery should be decided?Doctor's answer:
For pregnant women who are hepatitis B carriers, cesarean delivery is definitely better than vaginal delivery, because the labor process can also potentially injure the baby's skin, and the spread of hepatitis B during labor is one way for mother and child to transmit hepatitis B. However, for you, the most important thing right now is not the decision on the mode of delivery, but that you must receive a dose of hepatitis B immune globulin at each of the sixth, eighth, and ninth months of pregnancy to cut off the possibility of mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B.
