A normal hemoglobin level during pregnancy is generally 11 to 13 g/dL. It is normal for levels to temporarily dip due to a physiological rise in blood plasma volume. However, levels below 11 g/dL are classified as anemia and typically require iron supplementation and close monitoring to avoid complications


First Trimester: 11.6 – 13.9 g/dL (Minimum safe level: 11.0 g/dL)Second Trimester: 9.7 – 14.8 g/dL (Minimum safe level: 10.5 g/dL)Third Trimester: 9.5 – 15.0 g/dL (Minimum safe level: 11.0 g/dL)
