Hello,
You must eat foods that contain a high percentage of iron as spinach, green vegetables and broccoli. Besides, you need to consult your doctor so that oral iron supplements will be given to increase the level of hemoglobin.

Hi Prashanthi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Low Hb is anemia , which is mostly due to decreased intake of iron.Supplements like ferrous sulphate will be given if you can absorb iron .If not it will be given parenteral.
You should take diet rich in iron , folic acid , vitamin B 12.You should eat leafy vegetable to have these vitamins.
Take care and Good luck.

Hello there
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.Firstly i congratulate on your pregnancy. See, anemia is common during pregnancy. But of course, Hb of 6gms is bit low for that. You must already on Green leafy vegetables like spinach, turnip greens, collard greens, kale cabbage, broccoli,beets, mustard greens are the popular iron rich foods. Tofu, soya are also good sources of iron. Alongwith that iron supplements like Orofer XT.Take care.Wish you happy pregnancy.
