Viral load (HCV RNA) test can be done only post delivery if recommended.
Infants born with HCV show no symptoms and have a normal childhood. There is no risk involved in breastfeeding. Good nipple care is advised and mother should not feed the child if her nipples are cracked or bleeding.
There is rarely any treatment prescribed for HCV during pregnancy for fear of potential harm to be caused to the foetus. A treatment using Ribavarin is definitely not prescribed. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has set stringent rules for the manufacturers to put a warning on specific medicines containing ribavarin.
In extreme conditions, treatment is advised if the potential benefit justifies the risk taken.
Consult your healthcare provider about protecting yourself against unwanted pregnancy. If you are on Viekira Pak, taking contraceptives containing ethical estradiol can prove hazardous.
So it is advisable to take preventive measures and enjoy a healthy life.
