Pregnant with Thalassemia Trait

Posted By Maria on February 04, 1999 at 18:46:06:







I have Thalassemia trait inherited from my Italian side of the family.  I am currently 4 months pregnant and am worried about how my trait will affect the pregnancy.  Am I at high risk?  I show up anemic on all the test.  I was told not to take Iron by one health care proffessonal, and to take extra Iron by another proffessional.  I don't know what I should do, should I take Iron supplements or not? Is there anything special I should do for my pregnancy due to me having this trait?
