What will happen if hemoglobin is low during pregnancy?

Question

My latest blood test showed low hemoglobin and i feel tired and dizzy quite often. Im in my second trimester and a little worried about how it affects the baby. Has anyone been through low hb during pregnancy?

Beta, eat beetroot, dates, jaggery and green leafy sabzi, these helped many in our family. But also take the iron your doctor gives. Food and medicine both together work best.

Mine was low too, doc's iron tablets fixed it. Don't ignore it.

My hb dropped low and I felt so weak and breathless. The doctor took it seriously and gave me proper iron support. Please get it monitored, low hb during pregnancy isn't something to manage alone.

My gynac said low hb can make you tired, dizzy and breathless, and it needs to be managed properly. She put me on iron and asked me to eat more greens and dates. Regular blood tests helped track it, so please don't skip them.
