The type of research used in this study is descriptive analytic. This research was conducted at Bandar Khalipah Public Health Center from May to July 2022. This examination was carried out on 10 pregnant women using the Sahli method. Based on the results of the examination, it was found that 7 people (70%) Haemoglobin increased and 3 people (30%) others did not increase. Based on the results of the examination on pregnant women who have been given Fe tablets, it can be concluded that the increase in hemoglobin levels is due to consuming iron (Fe) tablets containing iron and folic acid. Meanwhile, the hemoglobin level did not increase even though they had consumed Fe tablets because pregnant women had not received a balanced intake and diet. Pregnant women can adjust their diet, take prenatal vitamins which usually contain iron and folic acid which are good for the blood and take Fe tablets so that hemoglobin remains stable during pregnancy.
