Detailed Answer:
Hello,
your wife is suffering from moderate anemia with iron deficiency disorder. It is important that her hemoglobin levels are brought up till 12gm% before conception should be planned . If conceived , then there may be chances of threatened miscarriage and most importantly poor foetal growth or intrauterine growth retardation with low birth weight babies.
