I'm 6 weeks pregnant and my blood report shows something called normocytic normochromic anemia. I'm really worried and wondering if this could be a problem. I've also attached my scan report, and I'm curious if there's any link between the two reports or if theres something I should be concerned about. Can you please guide me on what steps I should take next?

I experienced a miscarriage after my first pregnancy at around 3 months due to bleeding, which really concerned me. Now, after four years of marriage, I'm pregnant again and currently at 7 weeks. My doctor recommended I take Loprin 75mg during this pregnancy. I'm a bit worried and want to understandis this medication safe for me and the baby? Would love to know what it does exactly and if it's really necessary.
