First of all, you need a lab test to confirm HBsAg. Always a positive test does not need treatment. Then we need to check the status of your husband and then your viral load (HBeAg or HBV DNA). Our main objective in pregnancy is to prevent transmission from you to your baby. And that is possible if we can take correct measures during your delivery and breast feeding. Also your baby, after delivery, needs vaccines and immunoglobulin to prevent infection.
