getting pregnant with hepatitis c
can you have a baby with hepatitis c?
You can get pregnant, I did and had healthy twins. The docs at Stanford were not sure about breast feeding so they had someone from infectious control come over and they thought it was OK. I did breast feed and my twins are 12 now. I had them tested last year and they are OK. I do worry if I cut myself in the kitchen cooking or the cat scratches me and draws blood. It's strange but my own blood freaks me out.
I didn't know I had Hep C at the time but would have gotten it in 84. I had twins in 91. I was diagnosed in 94. My twins were tested in 2001 and both are negative. They are now 16 and I worry everyday that somehow I will infect them.
