 The risk of transmitting hepatitis C to your baby is low - about 5 percent. Furthermore, even if your baby got hepatitis C, the chance your child will eliminate the virus on its own is good. If the infection becomes chronic, children can be treated, and they tolerate the treatment much better than adults. So continue with your pregnancy! | ||||||||
