Do not attempt to self-diagnose if you think you may be suffering from anemia.
According to the American Pregnancy Association, a lack of enough red blood cells (RBCs) can lead to anemia.
Pregnancy is a special milestone in a woman’s life. But during pregnancy, a lot of changes take place in the body of women. One such change occurs in their heartbeat. The pregnant woman’s heart beats faster than normal to provide nourishment to the growing fetus. Due to this, an increase of 30 to 50 percent is observed in the amount of blood in the body. To maintain increased blood volume, it is important for women to increase their iron and folic acid intake.
According to the American Pregnancy Association, a lack of enough red blood cells (RBCs) can lead to anemia. Iron deficiency is the main cause of anemia in women. While mild anemia due to increased blood volume is common during pregnancy, severe anemia can prove to be dangerous for both the mother and the baby.

Do not attempt to self-diagnose if you think you may be suffering from anemia. But there are ways to cure it at home without consuming supplements. Include iron-rich foods in your diet to improve your condition.
If none of these methods work and your condition continues to worsen over time, consult a doctor. They may prescribe certain synthetic iron supplements that may improve your condition. In very rare scenarios, pregnant women may undergo a blood transfusion to increase the iron levels in their bodies.
