Pre-wedding health check up

[tiaraqueen]

Hi, I'm thinking of getting my fiance and I to go for a health check up before our marriage but im worried he may feel that I do not trust him. Is it common to go for health check ups before marriage?

My fiancé and I went for a health check up as part of our company's annual health screening. I added on the Thalassemia test as that's the main thing they check for in pre-marriage health checks. Think it's good to go for it, can explain to him that it's not abt trust, it's abt planning for ur children.

I'm actually quite scare to go check up what if............... I have problem conceive? It like getting very common nowadays

how should i convince him to do a checkup. he says is a waste money...

Tell him it's for family planning lor, cos they check for thalassemia. If both of u are carriers then ur kid may have it. Better to know earlier...

 

[bearine]

Cos we are not planning on having kids for the first few years. He says wait till we want kids then go for it.
Btw, Is there any other common risk, other than thalassemia?

Just curious, if one is a carrier, would anyone avoid giving birth? Or is there any medication or precaution we can take to avoid?

Hmmm, other than thalassemia some of them also do things like ultrasound pelvic n semen analysis. Even if not having kids so soon, is better to check first? If any issues then have time to resolve it first before trying for baby ma. If only when wanna have then check, realize sth not right, end up taking more time to fix it.

If both are thalassemia carrier still can have baby, just tt there's a chance tt the baby will have thalassemia. But they can do prenatal testing to check the fetus.
