Mild anemia, common in pregnancy. Means red cells are normal in size but slightly pale (less hemoglobin). Continue iron rich diet and doctor prescribed supplements.

Dear doctor, I went to a government hospital for a pregnancy test for my wife. They said the pregnancy is positive, and something is written on the registration slip. I need your help to understand the test mentioned and whether the results are favorable or not. What is good or bad in the test? Thank you.
