Anemia & pregnancy: Hi, it is very common to drop Hg during pregnancy because of volume expansion but Anemia is very common due to Iron deficiency during pregnancy because the body makes more blood but the iron storage cannot keep up with that therefore the pregnant woman should be on Iron supp. and also Vitamins like folic acid and b12.
