Just right!: Great question! the best data on this important topic come from the united kingdom and professor phil speer: he has demonstrated that the best hemoglobin to have at 28-34 weeks (i.e. At its physiological nadir in pregnancy) is around 10 g/dl with increased perinatal risks below 9 and above 11 g/dl. Regular prenatal vitamins is all you need - don't listen to anyone trying to label you anemic!
