What are options for people that want to have a baby but have sickle cell anemia?

Options: You'll need to be under the care of an obstetrician and a hemotologist who is familiar with sickle cell anemia. Your best bet to get care at a university teaching hospital.

Lots of consults: First, they should consult with their treatment team, since pregnancy could be very difficult and medications taken may be dangerous for baby. A surrogate to carry the child might be the best option. That would require a fertility center & some legal work. They ca start with their regular doc, but it would require a team to get it done.
