need some information about hep c

[lilpup32]

I'm new to this group and I'm hoping to get some info about hep c. What does it mean to have a high bilirubin count and what does it mean to have a low hemaglobin count? as well I was told this over the phone but wasnt given any explanations until I go see my doctor in 2 weeks; and I'm very concerened for myself and my unborn baby.Last year I wasnt doing to well but I started to get better and now it seems like Im not doing that good again. Im not on any treatment and havent qualified  for it and even if I quaified I couldnt start until after I had my baby.THANK YOU for your help in answering my questions.

Please resubmit your question in a day or two because it's very surprising there hasn't been more responses. Try "Pregnant with Hep C" as a title, a little attention grabber. Unfortunately I am very, very, unqualified to make serious comment on your condition.

When you resubmit your question.
Include what type of Hep C you have, 1a/b, 2, 3 ?
Have you had a biopsy?

I know with type 1, it usually takes decades, for symptoms to appear. Do you have other medical conditions that may have contributed to 'not doing well last year' ?

That's it for my input, Susan is right call, ask, get answers. Try not to worry to much in the meantime. Most of all Congratulations on your baby!

Given your pregnant state, call your doctors office and ask that your doctor or their nurse return your call and answer your questions - thoroughly.  It's their responsibility to make sure that you understand your situation.
