Most

of us didn’t know we had it when we had our kids, because most of us had

it over 20 years before we were diagnosed, and as far as I know, none of our

kids got it from us through childbirth. We had them tested to be

sure. But I’m not aware of any one in the group whose kid got

infected got infected that way. Most spouses didn’t get it from us

either. Danne, did you & Mitch get it from each other through normal

marital relations, or did you each get it independently?

Thanks Everyone

I wanted to thank

everyone for the replies to my New post. It helps me

to hear other people's stories and experiences. I am praying that this

was a false positive for me, I know I am probably grasping at straws

but at least there is a little hope! What are your thoughts on having

kids once you know you have Hep C? I ask because I have been married

for 4 months and all my life have wanted to be a mother, I just fear

that I am putting a child at risk! I have read its only a 5% chance

but still scares me! What is the biggest thing that changed in your

life since you found out you had hep C? Do you still feel

like " yourself " ? I don't know much about this diease, I used to only

know about the stigma that was attached to it, and after doing research

all weekend I realized the stigma is not true! I appreciate all the

support and information, every little bit helps!
