My hb came a little low and doc mentioned mild anemia. I saw something about WHO levels online and got confused with the numbers. Can someone explain the categories simply? just want to know where i stand.
My hb dropped quite low in second trimester and it needed proper treatment, so dont take anemia lightly. The doctor decided everything based on my reports. Please follow ur gynac for this, it really matters for the baby.
My doctor explained that anemia in pregnancy is graded by hemoglobin levels, like mild, moderate and severe by WHO cutoffs. She said below 11 is considered anemia in pregnancy. For exact numbers and treatment pls go by ur own blood report and gynac, dont self interpret.
The classification is medical so honestly your gynac is the right person to explain ur level. Iron rich food and the iron tablets they give really help. I would not rely on internet numbers for something like this.
