Hep C and Having Babies
by PrincessMyss, Sep 20, 2009 03:42PM
My question is: I have Hep C and my doctors think I was born with it, I have tried treatment but it did not work for me, I would like to have babies sometime soon and was wondering will I pass the virus to my baby because my mother passed it to me?

Not necessarily. Only 4-5% of babies born from hep C positive moms actually get the virus. All will have antibodies for 12-18 months though. The ones who keep those antibodies past 18 months, likely have the virus. A PCR will tell you that.
