Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that having a hemoglobin 8.2 at 24 weeks is very low. It is adviced that before she conceive you should start with the iron tablet to increase the hemoglobin. Pregnancy is the condition of the hemodilution. so always there is some decrease in the hemoglobin as you are going to the final phase of the pregnancy I advice you to take injectable iron treatment with the guidance of the nearby physician. some detail history is required to start the treatment. So visit the nearby physician. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx. Dr. Arun Tank
