Of course, pregnant with hepatitis C often have to take the tests and be under more strict supervision of a physician. This is because hepatitis C during pregnancy may give complications such as hypoxia, or even cause miscarriage. If childbirth with hepatitis C were normal and the baby was born healthy (unlike his mother), it can be easy to feed breast milk. The disease does not pass from mother to child, as he has other ways of distribution.

It happens that the disease is masked behind the symptoms of cholestasis and preeclampsia. Accordingly, the woman is prescribed the wrong treatment, which can only be complicated. If pregnant previously suffered from hepatitis and has recovered or is still sick, but the doctor-gynecologist must observe infectious disease.

And it is very dangerous, because hepatitis C is fraught with irreversible consequences, resulting in cirrhosis or liver cancer. But symptoms in women in the position may occur in the following conditions:

If the woman still was diagnosed with hepatitis C, she should understand that now bear and give birth to the child she will have a few different. There is also a role played by the overall health of the expectant mother. Throughout the pregnancy the doctor controls the viral load, as it affects the risk of transmission of the virus to the baby: the higher the load, the more likely the infection of the fetus.

If a woman is sick with HIV, then the probability of disease transmission is higher. Important methods of examination of women. For example, in such situations, almost no use of prenatal diagnosis, as there is a risk of transmission of the disease in utero. If you can not make a diagnosis otherwise, the woman must necessarily familiarize with the consequences.

Be it acute or chronic form of the disease, doctors have not concluded whether the disease is at such moments as:

• unplanned abortion - a miscarriage;
• the birth of a dead foetus;
• onset of labor before the scheduled time;
• defects of internal organs in the child.

With regard to preventive measures, then every woman should remember that hepatitis C is transmitted through blood. Even if a pregnant woman has in her blood this virus, it does not mean that her sex life is over. It is necessary now to take care of the issue of contraception. It is also worth remembering about home path of infection.
