Hello
Thank you for your query.
Anemia in
pregnancy is defined as
hemoglobin less than 11.
Your wife is definitely anemic.
Anemia has risks to the mother in the form of increased infection, chances of sepsis, decreased
wound healing after birth, chances of cardiac failure etc.
To the baby it can cause growth retardation, growth restriction etc.
You need to consult your obstetrician and take regular
iron supplements orally.
increase green leafy vegetables, liver, beef, nuts, grains, pulses, spinach, broccoli, kale,
vitamin c and proteins in the diet.
Consider parenteral iron if oral iron is not tolerated.
Get complete anemia profile done and investigations for thalessemia also done.
Take regular b complex vitamins also.
take care.
