Madam from what you have said looks like the problem is little more than simple BP fluctuations.low BP during pregnancy is expected.but I do not think ur symptoms are cos of ur BP. Low hb can cause general weakness n giddiness but the other things u have mentioned regarding other blood counts just mean that u need a very carefully evaluation. But your worry about the baby at this point s not needed ,
as far as the ultrasound s normal nothing to worry about the fetus now.
