Thalassemia

Just got a call from KK and they informed me that i’m a thalassemia carrier. :( Has anyone here have any experience being a thalassemia carrier during pregnancy? What’s the risk etc?

I did a blood test last month and the gynae told me I “may have thalassemia” hence advised me to take two dosage of vitamin D daily. Did they ask your partner to take a blood test too? Because they asked us to take to check if the baby is at risk

So my husband ended up being clear from thalassemia so baby is ok. Just that I have to continue to take vitamin D everyday to help w the blood absorption of the meds. But truth be told, my mom was also suspected to be a thalassemia carrier so I’m pretty sure it was heredity.
