Thalassemia and rh factor of baby
I am pregnant. Three months running. Husband (O+) and wife (B+) are not thalassemia carriers. But my husband's mother (don't know blood group) and sister (O-)are carriers. What is the chance of my baby having a carrier and negative blood group?

I don’t know which test u have done for carrier state, or the credibility of the lab, But If husband is not carrying the thalasemia gene, then the child will not have it.
And since both of you are Rh +ve, the changes are that the child also will have +ve Rh
Next Steps
Baby will not have the thalasemia gene, unless either of you are carriers

Very unlikely. And baby having negative blood group doesn't have any ill effect. Its only about mother's blood group.
Next Steps
Take no worries and continue with the pregnancy.

Thalassemia is inherited in autosomal recessive manner. If both parents are not carriers even then there is no chance of your baby getting affected. And blood group doesn't determine thalassemia.
