Which one of you is a women who passed on Hepatitis C to their child during birth was your question?
Apparently, none! I'm so sorry for your pain. It must be very difficult to deal with. Hepatitis C treatment is getting better and better. Your son is still young and there is currently treatment for hepatitis C. The best thing you can do for your son is stay health and both of you see a doctor about your Hepatitis C. Please ask questions. I will try to do my best to answer all of them.

Yes this means of transmission can and has happened albeit rarely (approx 6% and somewhat greater in those co-infected with HIV(below)
Hopfully you find this article useful and if your son Does have HCV the future looks very promising in HCV therapy

Vertical Transmission
Infrequent (as opposed to vertical transmission of Hepatitis B in the pre-vaccine era).
Rate approximately 6% in HCV viraemic, non-HIV infected mothers. May increase to ~ 15% in HIV positive mothers.
Majority of infant infections probably acquired during exposure to infectious blood at delivery (infants not viraemic until several weeks post-delivery). However, there are no convincing studies at this time demonstrating that Caesarean section should be recommended.
Transmission from breast milk has not been documented, although virus RNA can be found in breast milk. Currently there are no recommendations concerning breast feeding by HCV positive mothers. This should be discussed with the women but breast feeding is not contraindicated.

If we cannot have differences of opinion and have the freedom to challenge the accuracy of information and the soundness of advice without scaring a new member off then this board is not what it should be. Though compassion and support are crucial, even more important, in my opinion, is accurate information and sound advice
Well, I hope we didn't scare off the OP because I would like to let her know that it is possible for her to change, for her son, and would like to support her with that decision.
Excuse me.
No, I am not a mother who passed their HCV to a child but I saw something that I thought was important so I posted.
Apparently you also thought you had something important to say which wasn't responsive to the OP.
"....but why do threads have to get off topic so people can play MH censor...."
"Censor"? That is precisely what you appear to be playing.
