Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. During pregnancy anrmia is common. Because already there is hemodilution. Need of iron is also increased. Weakness, fatigue are the symptoms of anemia. You should go for your hemoglobin estimation. If it is low then you should 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.
