    Please discuss this with your obstetrician for the most accurate advice. If you don't have Hepatitis B, there should be little to worry about, but you need to be tested to make sure it hasn't been passed on to you.

    Well, for starters, I'm not a "sir" I'm a nurse.

    If you don't have it you shouldn't be worried. However, since your husband has it, there is a chance he passed it on to you. Your doctor will need to test you.
