Possible alpha thalassaemia
This information is for you if you are pregnant and have had a blood test which shows you may be a carrier of alpha thalassaemia (also known as possible alpha thalassaemia carrier).
As your screening test cannot confirm if you are a carrier of alpha thalassaemia, we have written the information in this leaflet as if you are an alpha thalassaemia carrier and to help you understand if further action is needed during your pregnancy.
