Low Haemoglobin in pregnancy
My wife is 20 weeks pregnant (Age 26 Height 5'45" weight 78.8kgs)
and has haemoglobin as 10.9 gm/dl where as the normal range is 12-15.
She is already taking iron tablets as per doctors advice from a month.
We need to wait for more 12 days for doctors appointment, does these levels effect baby ?
What we need to resolve this issue ?
I've seen in google that eating pomogrenate , dry fruits , leafy vegetables, apples, beetroot,carrots might increase haemoglobin production is it true ?
She was eating all the above said fruits regularly from the start of pregnancy then why haemoglobin levels are still low ?
I have attached Haemogram Report.

It is ok . Continue the same tablet.Because with increasing the size of baby haemodilution will decrease . Continue the iron tablet.For details contact me through practo online.

Pregnancy can lead to hemodilution. So, physiological decrease is common. Continue your medicine. Eat iron rich deit.
