Thalidomide was found to harm the development of unborn babies and cause serious birth defects, especially if taken in the first four to eight weeks of pregnancy. The drug led to the arms or legs of the babies being very short or incompletely formed. Other side effects also included deformed eyes, ears and hearts.
Thalassaemia is passed down through families and is carried on a recessive gene. This means that your baby won't automatically inherit thalassaemia. If you or your partner is a thalassaemia carrier, your baby has a one in two chance of inheriting the gene defect and being a carrier like one of his parents.lpha thalassaemia minor can also cause anaemia, particularly if you carry two mutated genes. Alpha thalassaemia HbH disease can cause mild to severe anaemia and may mean you require blood transfusions during pregnancy. Beta thalassaemia major makes it more likely that you will have complications during your pregnancy.
