A haemoglobin of 8.9 g per dL is low for pregnancy, so it is better to raise it before trying to conceive. Taking iron and folic acid supplements, improving diet, and checking for iron deficiency or other causes can help increase it. Your doctor may also suggest stronger treatments, such as IV iron, if needed.
