How To Treat Low RBC, Hemoglobin And Hematocrit During Pregnancy?

I am currently in my second trimester.
My lab results are: Normal total Iron, normal TIBC, normal transferrin saturation, normal WBC.
Abnormal are: Low RBC, low Hemoglobin, low Hematocrit.
Am I iron anemic then, or should I consider upping my B vitamins and folic acid?
Thanks.

Hi, I have gone through your reports. From that it does not seem to be due iron deficiency. Still you have low rbc and hb so we should search for other causes. You should investigate further. You may have vitamin b12 deficiency or may be some other causes like bleeding etc. So go for ps examination and if needed go for vit b12 level as per your doctor's advice. first search the cause and then take treatment accordingly.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. wish you a very good health.
