There are 25% chances that child will have thalassemia major. 50% chances of minor and 25% chances that child will be healthy. I'm assuming that both have thal minor. There is no way to predict this. Mother can undergo testing during pregnancy. Please meet a genetic counsellor to discuss in detail.
