hello
welocme to hcm
you can start her on iron containing tablets such as orofer xt, ferrium xt , autrin twice a day and review with your obstretician.
tablets will definitely help increasing the hb levels. meanwhile, beetroot, pomegranate, green leafy vegetables are considered to be rich sources of iron.
wish you a healthy child.

Hello
Your wife needs to take iron injections to increase the levels faster
tablets will take 2-3 months but by the time your child would have suffered enough to become underweight

Thanks For the query
Keep a monthly watch on the hb, if it goes below 7 then she may require transfusion but we should also keep in mind that she may require transfusion durin the delivery to counter the blood loss
For now let her take lots of green leafy veggies, iron tablets once a day after food
Have a healthy living
