Will there be any complications with pregnancy complicated by viral hepatitis?

Patient's question:

After a thorough examination at the hospital, I found out that I had viral hepatitis, so I want to understand what complications may occur with pregnancy complicated by viral hepatitis?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, during pregnancy, if it is carefully checked that a viral hepatitis infection has been contracted, it is usually necessary to undergo comprehensive and thorough examinations. If the virus load is high during pregnancy, it can cause certain pressure on the body, requiring further examinations. Most viral hepatitis is contagious and there is a high possibility of transmitting it to the child, with a relatively high probability, especially for patients with viral hepatitis. It is recommended that during pregnancy, if viral hepatitis is detected, attention should be paid. If prenatal examinations are not performed, it may lead to a decline in immunity during pregnancy. If the virus replication is particularly active, it can cause severe liver damage.
