Hello dr i am rachana i am worried about this anemia as i am pregnant as i have iron deficiency and hemoglobin shortage?

I'm worried too: The physician who is managing your pregnancy has a duty to explain why you are anemic and to provide you with nutritional supplements including folate, (folic acid) iron and whatever else is needed to treat it and prevent recurrence, if it is a nutritional anemia. Don't accept anything less.
