dear mam. most common cause of anaemia in pregnancy is iron deficiency anaemia. if it's iron deficiency anaemia definitely iron must increase after iron injections. kindly get complete blood count, iron profile and vitamin B12 estimation to know type of anaemia. if it's iron deficeincy u can take iron injections. repeat hb after iron injections. if it doesn't increase after iron injection consider haemoglobin electrophoresis test to rule out mild form of haemoglobinopathy. any further queries u can call on 9986418611. thank u
