Hello ma'am and welcome.
It is important to note that many women have a hepatitis flare dueing pregnancy, either a pre-existing one or a new infection due to the effect pregnancy can have on the liver.
Treatment for pregnant women requiring anti-viral therapt was found to be best with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). Please speak to your doctor for the same.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
