Answer 2

You should be calling her OB to ask this question.  If it concerns the health and well being of your baby you should never hesitate.  OBs expect calls like this one in fact people call for much smaller concerns like what gives me gas and what doesn't.

Call!

Answer 3

She is just fine. Normal hemoglobin levels for pregnant women are between 11 and 12.
