Anemia of pregnancy: Pregnant women are anemic for two main reasons. The elevated levels of female hormones during pregnancy cause water to be retained thus diluting the red blood cells in the blood resulting in HGB's of 10.0 =/- 1.0. The other cause is iron deficiency. There are several forms of oral iron. Also increase your consumption of iron containing foods. Your anemia will resolve with your delivery in 4 weeks.
