Pregnancy and Sickle-Cell Disease. A woman with sickle-cell disease can have a safe pregnancy. During pregnancy, the disease may become more severe, and pain episodes may be more frequent. You will need early prenatal care and careful monitoring throughout pregnancy.
In the past, there was no effective treatment, other than blood transfusions, to prevent a pain crisis. The medication hydroxyurea was found to reduce the number of pain episodes by about 50% in some severely affected adults. We do not recommend hydroxyurea for pregnant women. However, researchers continue to study new drug treatments to help reduce complications of the disease.
A blood test can reveal whether you or your partner carry the sickle-cell trait. There also are prenatal tests to find out if baby will have the disease or carry the trait. Most children with sickle-cell disease are now identified through newborn screening tests.
Your healthcare provider will pay close attention to your sickle-cell disease during pregnancy. Work with your healthcare team to stay as healthy as possible.
Thalassemia
Thalassemia, also called Cooley’s anemia, is not just one disease. It includes a number of different forms of anemia. The thalassemia trait is found all over the world but is most common in people from the Middle East, Greece, Italy, Georgia (the country, not the state), Armenia, Viet Nam, Laos, Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, Cambodia, Malaysia, Burma, Indonesia, China, East India, Africa and Azerbaijan. It affects about 100,000 babies each year.
