Anyone with info on HepC and pregnancy?
I am a former addict who caught HEPC and (now that my life is back on track) am suffering because of it. I am 16 weeks pregnant and I am curious as to what signs I should watch for such as signs of liver complications or baby complications..any information would be helpful. I just want a healthy baby and my insurance doesn't cover the treatment so I'm scared for the baby.
The odds of vertical transmission (from mother to baby) are about 5%
Have you been denied treatment by your insurance?
After your baby is born you should get with your doctor again and try to get treatment my understanding is once you are denied 3 times you can appeal to your states insurance commissioner and still get treated you just have to fight the system.
