Hepatitis C when left untreated. Is known to cause cirrhosis liver after many years of infection such untreated hepatitis can affect fetal development. But fortunately you were sufficiently treated to take the infection out of your system. I dont think you need to be stressed about fetal abnormality. Still routine pregnancy check-ups special tests for excluding fetal anomaly are needful First thing is to tell your treating doctor about your infection. So that he would be careful while treating you. Thanks.
