Hello,
I just got the blood test results back from booking in appt. I am 13+5 weeks. Someone had written in pen next to the results "all results normal". However I am now worried because when I read the printed text it said that I had a possible iron deficiency and/or am an Alpha Thalassemia carrier. It then said partner does not need to be tested.
My husband is Italian (I am white British). Shouldn't he be tested as he is of Mediterranean decent and therefore more likely to be a possible carrier too?
Just made the mistake of googling alpha thalassemia....
