Can I have a baby if I have hepatitis B?

Since triple positive is highly contagious, many people have doubts about whether patients can become pregnant and have children. It is possible to have children, but for the sake of yourself and the next generation, you must pay attention to the stage of your triple positive. If the hepatitis B virus turns negative, you can definitely have a baby, but you still need to get the hepatitis B vaccine in the later stages of pregnancy. Also, if you are in the active stage of triple positive, you should receive treatment temporarily and don’t rush into it and cause trouble for the next generation.

It is possible to have children with Hepatitis B virus (HBV), it mainly depends on what stage the patient is in. If it is in the active stage of Hepatitis B virus (HBV), then one should receive treatment first and wait until the dormant stage before deciding to have children. If the liver function and hepatitis B virus quantity are normal, you can get pregnant and have a baby normally.

However, pregnant women need to be injected with hepatitis B immunoglobulin once in the 7th, 8th and 9th months of pregnancy for blocking the infection. After the child is born, hepatitis B immunoglobulin and hepatitis B vaccine should be injected once within 12 hours, and then hepatitis B vaccine should be injected at 1 month and 6 months respectively. This can effectively block the possibility of children being infected with hepatitis B.

There are two types of hepatitis B: big triple positive and small triple positive. If it is small triple positive and the hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid is negative, it means that the virus in the body is tending to be stable. Such women can become pregnant and only need to get the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours after the child is born.

The big three Yang is highly contagious, and women with this condition are more likely to infect the fetus during childbirth. It is best to wait until the test turns negative before getting pregnant. If the test result cannot be turned negative immediately, making the following three preparations may help the fetus survive.

1. Before becoming pregnant, you should go to the hospital for liver function and HBV-DNA tests to see if your condition allows pregnancy. Only when liver function is normal and HBV-DNA is negative can you consider pregnancy. After liver function returns to normal, you must stop taking the medicine for more than 6 months, and you can only become pregnant if your liver function is back to normal.

2. If liver function is abnormal and viral DMA is positive, pregnancy is not recommended. First, receive appropriate treatment according to the doctor's instructions, and avoid pregnancy during treatment. Otherwise, not only will the burden on the liver be increased, but there is also a high chance that the disease will be transmitted to children. 3. Hepatitis B virus can infect through follicles and sperm cells, and can also penetrate through the placenta to infect the fetus. Therefore, expectant mothers should undergo regular checks and actively receive treatment during pregnancy to prevent the fetus from being infected.

4. During pregnancy, regular injection of hepatitis B immunoglobulin can reduce the chance of intrauterine transmission of hepatitis B. In addition, the baby should be vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth, and the baby's peripheral blood should be tested for hepatitis B virus infection markers to prevent mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B in a timely manner. Experts say that using this method, 95% of fetuses can be protected from infection.

Can mothers with hepatitis B breastfeed?

After regular prevention for the infant, breastfeeding does not increase the risk of infection for the infant. Therefore, mothers with hepatitis B can breastfeed their fetuses normally, but they must develop the good habit of washing hands before breastfeeding and cleaning nipples regularly.

If the father has hepatitis B, will the child be infected?

Normally, hepatitis B will not be transmitted through the father, but the hepatitis B virus in the father can cause fetal infection in the sperm. In addition to causing the baby to suffer from hepatitis B, it may also cause deformities, stillbirth, miscarriage, etc. Therefore, if the man has hepatitis B, he needs to use medical means to reduce the HBV DNA load before conception to reduce the risk of fetal transmission.
