Pregnancy and Hep C

Is anyone else pregnant and hep C positive? I am having trouble finding other pregnant women who got pregnant while on ribovarin and interferon treatment? I would like to email and find other pregnant women who have hep C.

Gald to hear the baby checks out ok.  Sounds like you were following the 2 - contraceptive guideline.  Yours is a very interesting story.  I hope you check back often and keep us informed how things are going.  I read happiness in your post, and that's always a good thing.

While i agree with becoming pregnant is a very bad thing. But  things do happen. Even double condoms could break and i have heard of women becoming pregnant while on birth control. Not to long ago a guy was on here and his wife was pregnant but his doctor told him he could still start tx. What if the double condoms don't work? But most here was encouraging to go ahead and tx. Even though he had very little damage. While you might think its alright to call a mothers child a labrat for mere amusement of doctors. I feel thats a bit much. Again just my opinion.
