Can thalassemia minor pt take 2 nd chance of pregnancy?
Im thalassemia minor and so is my husband, we already have one child. We want a second baby but im really worried after what we read about both partners being minor. Has anyone here been in the same situation, how did u plan it with ur doctor?
I'd strongly suggest proper preconception counselling for this. With thalassemia minor they usually check the husband's status and monitor your iron carefully. Dont plan on your own, let the specialist guide the second pregnancy.
I know how much hope a second chance holds, and yes it is possible. The doctors just take extra care with screening so the baby is safe. Please go for the counselling, theyll support you through it gently.
Yes, many thalassemia minor women have healthy pregnancies, my doctor said the key is to get the partner tested too. If both are minor, they do extra counselling and tests for the baby. Please discuss this with a gynac or a genetic counsellor before planning.
