Hello,
Nothing to worry about.
Also do your husband's thalassemia test.
In case that is positive then there is a cause for concern.
In case his is negative, likelihood of baby having it is very low.
You can have a normal delivery, no problem with that.
Only if it is thalassemia major, is it harmful.
Next Steps
Husband's thalassemia test.
Consult a hematologist with the report.
Health Tips
Continue taking Tab folvite one daily after breakfast till delivery.
