Can a pregnant woman with confirmed hepatitis C have a child?

Patient's question:

What symptoms don't have is the blood drawn on the 13th, they only did it on the 15th, and the report was only switched today. On it, HCV is positive. I don't know if the child can be taken like this.

Doctor's answer:

The probability of children transmitting hepatitis C is about 4%. Generally, it is necessary to receive immune globulin. Usually, there is nothing to worry about, but once it is transmitted, the rate is 100%. There is no way to prevent mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis C, but the probability of transmission from mother to child is very low, so you don't need to worry. After the child is born, do not breastfeed. Additionally, during the treatment of hepatitis C, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
