At 21 weeks of pregnancy, sometimes I feel a bit dizzy. Is it possible that I'm anemic?

Patient's question:

I am 26 years old, and I am currently 21 weeks pregnant. Sometimes I feel a bit dizzy. Is it anemia if I feel a bit dizzy at 21 weeks of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Your test results are fine, and there is no anemia present. Below 110g/L is considered anemia, so don't worry. Everything looks clear, and there are no issues. It's normal for blood counts to be slightly higher during pregnancy compared to non-pregnancy, so there's no need to be concerned. The limit for pregnancy is not exceeding 15x10^9, and your count is 11.72. Currently, fetal movements are not yet regular. The patient should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical activity to boost immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
