First your husband's HB chromatography should be done .if your husband's HB is normal then there are 50% chances that your baby may also be beta thalassemia minor Carrier. Do your serum iron levels ,if decreased you should take iron supplementation. If iron levels are normal then you will need bld transfusion. Pt with beta thalassemia minor Carrier usually have HB between 8-10.
