Summary

This study looks at whether giving regular blood transfusions to pregnant women with sickle cell disease can reduce serious health problems for both mother and baby. About 50 women will be randomly assigned to receive either repeated transfusions or standard care during pregnancy and up to 2 months after birth. The goal is to see if this approach lowers hospital visits and complications like pain crises or pre-eclampsia.
