Your blood test results show you may be a carrier of beta thalassaemia
This information is for you if you are pregnant and have had a blood test which shows you may be a carrier of beta thalassaemia carrier (often referred to as ‘having a trait’).
This leaflet gives you information about being a carrier, and what this means for you and your family.
As your screening test cannot confirm if you are a beta thalassaemia carrier, we have written the information in this leaflet as if you are a beta thalassaemia carrier and to help you understand if further action is needed during your pregnancy.
