My husband has g6pd deficiency and now im pregnant, so worried if it can pass to baby or cause any issue. Will ask gynac next visit but couldnt stop thinking about it. Anyone with similar case here?
I felt so anxious when I first heard about this test! But my doctor explained that as long as we avoid specific triggers and medicines, the pregnancy goes completely smoothly. Just stay in touch with your doctor regularly.
This is a medical condition where certain foods and medications can cause a reaction. Since there are no home remedies for genetic things, please consult your doctor for a safe list of foods and medicines.
Honestly, it is a genetic condition but don't panic. You just need to avoid certain trigger foods like fava beans and some medicines. Just share your reports with your doctor so they can prescribe safe alternatives.
Actually, it's very manageable with proper care. Many moms with this condition have healthy normal deliveries. Just make sure your gynac is aware of your G6PD status from day one.
