Talk to your doctor. You must remember,
you aren't talking to a forum full of
health professionals here, you are talking
to high school and college kids and dads
and stay-at-home-moms.

If she has had the hepatitis b vaccine she
needs to have a titus test and maybe she
already has. This test will confirm
whether she has developed an immunity to
the virus or not (15% of people that get
the vaccine do not develop the immunity).
If it comes back that she has developed
immunity than there is little if any risk.
It should not pass to your child.
There is a greater risk if she were to
have the virus because she could pass it
on during birth, but since she has had the
vaccination it sounds like things will be
ok. I would talk to your doctor and get
her the titus test. If it comes back
that she has the immunity then I think you
will be ok!
