Yes. Haemoglobin is less and concerning. Requires further testing and management.
Some people do not respond to oral iron therapy or dietary changes like beetroot consumption. Requires injections or blood transfusion based upon further testing

Her hemoglobin 8.4 g/dL at 32 weeks indicates moderate anemia, and the trend is progressively falling, which needs active management now.
Oral iron alone is not sufficient at this stage, especially with poor response and constipation. She should see her obstetrician soon for injectable iron therapy (IV iron) after checking iron studies. This is important to reduce risks during delivery.
Continue iron-rich diet, take iron as advised, and repeat Hb after treatment. Do not delay consultation.
