See List: You should avoid the following when pregnant:

Question 8

my pregnant wife is diagnosed with thalassima beta minor carrier. what should be our next step and diagnosis.what are risks ?

Accepted Answer

Genetic counseling.: Have yourself tested to see if you have or carry the disease - beta major versus minor. This will help direct the genetic counseling. The counselor will be able to tell you the chances of inheritance, depending on whether or not you carry this. If you are completely negative, then the baby will never get the disease but has a 50% chance of being a carrier, that is, being beta thal minor. G'luck!

Question 9

can beta thalasemia minor cause a slightly enlarged spleen?

Accepted Answer

How slightly?: Is the spleen palpable? If so, it is more than slightly enlarged and beta thalassemia minor is not a likely cause.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine

Question 10

i have thalassemia minor (beta thalassemia) and my fiance also has traits of beta thalassemia... can we have normal children?

Accepted Answer

Find out: Your fiance needs to be tested as well and you both need to sit down with a genetic counselor in any case. It's not just "can we have normal children?" the real question, "do we want to knowingly run the risk of 1 out of 4 of each of our children being born with a god-awful case of beta-thal major? What are our options? Are they acceptable to us?" this is a very grave matter.
