My husband tested positive for hep b and now im honestly so worried about passing it to baby. We are planning to discuss with the gynac soon. Has anyone gone through this?
Preventing Hep B is mostly about regular screening and avoiding exposure. Doctors always run a blood test for this in early pregnancy. Ask your gynac if you need the vaccine series, it's safe to take.
I had some health complications during my delivery, so I know how crucial these tests are. Please consult your doctor directly to get tested and discuss the prevention steps properly. Don't take any chances.
I panicked so much when I saw this test in my list, but my doctor told me it's just a routine screening. Just make sure all medical equipment used is sterile and ask your gynac about the vaccine.
When I was staying at my parents' house, my mom made sure I only went to a reputed clinic for blood tests. Please make sure your doctor tests you for this, and always use clean, disposable syringes.
This is very serious, so please don't rely on online advice. The standard way to prevent it is getting screened during your first prenatal visit and getting the Hep B vaccine if needed. Speak to your doctor immediately.
