Your baby has 25 percent chance of getting thalassemia major. CVS test is the best way to detect it's presence and if things get delayed somehow, amniocentesis is another option.

Indian population is at high risk for thalassemia disorders and screening should be preconceptions ideally. In your case you should proceed for genetic testing of the fetus by CVS or Amnio to detect thalassemia. Consult a fetal medicine specialist for the same

Hi Since both of you are carrier of the gene, there is 25% chance that fetus may have thalassemia major, which is very troublesome. But look on the other side of the coin 50% chance that it can be a carrier like you or 25% chance that it can be normal. CVS is best way to detect. And based on the report take a wise decision This need for CVS will be there in every pregnancy All the best
