your blood will be monitored repeatedly to know you don't develop anemia and may be your will be put on more close suveillance of fetus to see if growth is on target.

This is not necessarily be a major problem. Do you know if your spouse is free from this condition? Have they ordered blood test for him as well.

Let me know updates.

Preeti,
as long as your spouse turns to be negative for the allele things will be fine with baby.
You may face more weakness from low HB and little improvement is expected from Iron supplement.
As long as you are monitored closely to find growth of baby you should be worry free.
