Which anemia: It is very crucial to know the cause of anemia and how severe the anemia is. Decrease of hemoglobin can happen during pregnancy related to increase volume status- especially during 2nd trimester.Therapy will depend on the cause of the anemia. For all pregnant women -need to make sure they have a good level of iron and folate (folic acid). They need to take prenatal multivitamin and they need to have good f/u.
