Will thalassemia minor cause any major problem in pregnancy and delivery?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thalassemia minor female can get pregnant and can have a child with normal genome without thalassemia or there can be thalassemia minor in children. Thalassemia minor is not a major health disease and do not worry about that even though it is present in your future child.

But you need to rule out thalassemia minor in your husband. If your husband is thalassemia minor then the child can have 25 percentage chance of acquiring thalassemia major which is dangerous. So kindly rule out thalassemia status of your husband and let me know about that. Kindly upload your report to guide you further.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Following is my opinion for your asked questions.

There will not be any problem in spleen after delivery due to thalassemia minor. So it is a false belief as per my opinion. If you have thalassemia major then it can be complicated but not in thalassemia minor. The hemoglobin level above 10 g/dL can be enough for normal delivery.

However, I strongly suggest that your future partner need to investigate for thalassemia. If he is having thalassemia minor then do not marry or else there is no need to worry.
