Hello..<br> The symptoms of thalassaemia vary widely from mild to severe. It depends on which genes are mutated, and whether it is the alpha haemoglobin or beta haemoglobin that is affected.&#160;<br> The terms thalassaemia minor (or thalassaemia trait), thalassaemia intermedia and thalassaemia major are used to describe the severity of the symptoms.&#160;<br> Thalassaemia minor, or trait, carries no symptoms. Thalassaemia intermedia can cause problems, for example, some patients may need blood transfusions, either occasionally or regularly. The most severe form of the disease is thalassaemia major. &#160;Whether you have thalassaemia or are a carrier, your baby will benefit if you take 5mg of&#160;folic acid&#160;daily throughout your pregnancy. This is because thalassaemia may increase the risk of your baby developing a neural tube defect, such as&#160;spina bifida. Taking a high dose of folic acid daily reduces this risk.&#160; and i would also suggest to meet a good haematologist once..
