Low Red Blood Cell

#firsttimemom Hi all, i have a low red blood cell result during pregnancy. And the report came in but didnt understand the remarks. I'm scared of having thalessimia as its my first time pregnancy. Can anyone help me explain or have similar remarks. Thank u in advance! Remarks: RBCs comprise hypochromic microcytes with few elliptocytes, few fragmented cells and occasional target cells. No abnormal WBCs seen.
