I'm 30 weeks pregnant my hemoglobin count drop from 11 to 6.8 in less than amonth is this bad for my baby? what shall i do? i'm worried help me

See doctor: Please contact the doctor who ordered the blood test. Start taking oral iron and vitamin supplementation. It is important to determine why did your hemoglobin drop this much. While Hb of 6.8 does not pose immediate danger to the baby, continued decline in your hemoglobin threatens your and your baby's health. See your doctor immediately.
