POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy8 months agoA. A hemoglobin (Hb) level of 10 g/dL at 16 weeks of pregnancy is considered on the lower end of the normal range, as the typical range for pregnant women is usually 11-12 g/dL. Low hemoglobin can indicate anemia, which may affect both your health and your baby's development if left untreated.
While a mild decrease in hemoglobin may not immediately harm the baby, it is important to address the issue to ensure adequate oxygen supply to both you and your baby. Anemia can lead to fatigue, weakness, and complications such as preterm birth or low birth weight.
You should discuss this with your doctor, who may recommend iron supplements or dietary changes to increase your hemoglobin level. Eating iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, and fortified cereals can also help. Regular monitoring will be important to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
