Yes. Since both husband and wife are beta thalassemia carriers, your fetus stands 25% chances of developing thalassemia. As you are already 11 weeks pregnant, this is the ideal time to undergo the genetic testing of the fetus to look for if the fetus is affected or not. I suggest you to go for chorionic villus sampling (CVS) in an approved fetal medicine centre.
