A member asked:
Can a expecting mother hepatitis b pass it on to her child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you are a carrier of hep b it is very easy to pass this on to the fetus. In fact, worldwide this is the most common way to spread hepatitis b. If you have had hep b and are immune then you won't pass it on to the baby.
