Anemia: This means that the person has anemia (low henoglobin in the blood), which is considered a complication of pregnancy, but they had it before the pregnancy, and it is chronic (longstanding without getting better or worse).

Billing icd9 code: I suspect that you are reading a billing code that was submitted to your insurance company. The doctor is simply saying you have anemia during pregnancy. The icd9 code will read as you described on a computer generated submission to the insurance company. Silly but that is the way a claim must be submitted.
