Abstract. Viral hepatitis B is a significant global health concern, affecting millions of people worldwide. In pregnant women, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can have important implications for both maternal and fetal health. This abstract provides an overview of the course of pregnancy and childbirth in women with viral hepatitis B. During pregnancy, women with chronic HBV infection may experience fluctuations in viral load, with potential consequences for liver function and overall health. Close monitoring of liver enzymes and viral load is essential to ensure timely interventions if necessary. Antiviral therapy may be recommended in certain cases to suppress viral replication and reduce the risk of vertical transmission to the newborn
