Hello,
You have hepatitis B positive. It can pass to the child. Avoid contamination of blood at the time of delivery. Take universal work precautions etc. But these things are to be done by your gynecologist. You should not worry about that. Just be relaxed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Hardik Sanghvi
