Generally speaking, carrying B Thal trait alone should not cause you problems during delivery or post partum.  Your doctor, however, should have the father of the baby tested by hemoglobin electrophoresis as well, to determine if he carries a hemoglobin variant -- it may be important information for this child and future children.
