Hi. I am 9 weeks 5 days pregnant. My hb electrophoresis report shows fetal haemoglobin percentage 0. Does this mean anything negative. M worried.

Fetal haemoglobin is present in adults only during childhood and slowly replaced by adult haemoglobin adults normally have fetal haemoglobin upto 0.6%. Your fetal haemoglobin of 0% has nothing to do with your child normally hb electrophoresis is done in anaemic pts to diagnose conditions like sickle cell anemia or thallesmia or normally done as routine in some clinics for pregnant pts. Would like to see your complete hb electrophoresis report, with complete blood count with peripheral smear reports.
