I have hep c and my daughter is now three. I was absolutely exhausted for most of that pregnancy but fine when she arrived, I think it was just part of teh pregnancy. She has been tested and cleared for hep c yay! I am now on my secong preg and cannot sleep at all and have done no treatment for hep c so I think it was just that preg acting different on my body. Good luck!

I'm in my 36 week of pregnancy and really exausted. I was in the begging but things did get better for me. I got my energy back. I was scared that my hep would be transferred to my baby, but my dr said that I was in the clear. things will get better.
