Hello lybrate-user This levels are indicative of beta thalassemia but does she has family history of it. If yes then the baby needs to be investigated with in 5 months cordocentesis can be done to take foetal blood sample. If no family history from both her parents side then relax sometimes naturally these levels are shown high without any specific relevance.
