pregnant with hep C, what suppl. are safe? Diet? I don't drink milk

[illima]

Hello. I am 6 weeks pregnant. First timer and I am 44. Have Hep C. levels are good and low. I usually don't drink nor eat dairy, don't take any coffee nor teas, I am semi vegitarian as i don't usually eat red meat. I t6ake regularly 600mg of Alpha lipoic acid per day. I also take lots of artichoke pills and usually take sylimarin but have stopped that since i am pregnant. i still don't know if all will be okay with the pregnancy as i am spotting but in the meanwhile I'd like to do all the best and right things to make this possible and well. I have started to drink milk and eat red meat once a week (all organic) and wonder if that is a good idea or not. Also used to take spirulina and chlorella but have stopped those too. i do take every day since a few month prenatal vitamins. Can you direct me to the best ways or perhaps tell me some good books. thank you.

dont take pre natal vitamins as they are high iron. not good for the liver. unless there is one w/out iron.but that is usually the point of pre natal vitamins is to give you a good dose of iron.  i never took them. just got iron other ways and had my blood tested-- i was never low.     a good way to get iron is chylorphyll or chylorella like you mentioned.  and eat higher iron foods. lots of green leafy vegs.
   i went thru many pregnancies with hepc in the 70's and 80's as i was not diagnosed yet.  my 4 kids did not get it.  
   you should get very educated on hepc since you have it.  there are many good books out there.  do a search on AMazon.  one is called HepC  a Survivors Guide.    how long have you had hepc and what is the condition of your liver?  low levels of the virus doesnt indicate your liver health.
