No: Anemia in pregnancy or otherwise is not normal. More information is needed for a determination of the cause of anemia that will dictate the treatment. Please consult this site and discuss the matter with your doctor. http://www.webmd.com/baby/guide/anemia-in-pregnancy.

Ask your OB: And make sure u are on a good iron supplement- many of the otc ones are garbage , but some of the newer ones like ferralet 90 and iron 150 from vitamedmd work much better and do not make u constipated, if you are worried your OB can refer u to a hematologist for that doc opinion, why yiour hb is low it would be much more worrisome if u were below 9.0.
