Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that pregnancy is the condition of hemodilution. So low haemoglobin is the possibility. To mitigate such effect it is necessary to start iron therapy before planning the pregnancy so hemodilution won't occur. In the current position I advice to take the oral iron therapy with due consultation from the GP doctors nearby to you.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank

Wish you a best health at health care magic.
