Me and my wife both are thalassemia minor and my wife had 2 pregnancy both time we did cvs test for baby but both times baby was diagnosed with thalassemia major and both times we had abortion, what should we eat or take before the pregnancy so we have better chances to get normal baby this time?

Nothing in eating or tablets can change chances. If you had consulted gynecologist or genetic specialist prior to marriage or if not but after marriage or at first pregnancy they must have explained to you that it is genetic combination and there is 25 % chance of thalasaemia major, 50 % chance of thalasaemia minor and 25 % chance of absolute normal. But don; t calculate chances by just your pregnancy number. Percentage is generalised.
