pregnant and being a HBV carrier

[anmocchau]

I am 4 month pregnant and being a HBV carrier. Before getting pregnant, my HBeAg was (-) and NDA viral load was 10 log 3. Now after 3 months, my HbeAg turns (+) and NDA viral load increases to 10 log 6, and my ALT is 43 (normal upper range is <40). My ALT was well below the uppper range before.

My doctor prescribed Zefffix to be taken 1st week of month 5 prenancy but I am reluctant to take as I dont know what it will do to my little one.

Any advice please!! I am so confused now. Thank you all!!

In my country, it is difficult to find a doctor who is interested in giving decent advice to patient. When I found out I got hep B through an annual health check (my first annual health check) in 2005, she just simply said you have to live with it without doing any further test on me to see what the status was. All the knowledge I have about hep B is from my research in the internet (luckily I am pretty good at English).

My concern is the doctor prescribed Zeffix which is Lamivudine to me. I know that Lamivudine is not the drug to use any more. I am reluctant. I desperately want my baby to be hep b free but equally I dont want to do take Zeffix if it does harm to my baby.

Anybody help please!!!
