Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
There are 25% chances of the baby having thalassemia major, 50% chances of being a minor and 25% chances of a completely normal baby.
So you should get a chorionic villus sampling in order to find out the status of baby.
Im also in Jaipur only you can contact me directly on my URL http://bit.ly/drmanishajain
Take care
