My recent blood report showed hb a bit low and my gynac mentioned it. Before pregnancy my reports were always fine. Is it normal for it to drop because of pregnancy?
My hb was low and I just added cheap iron rich foods like spinach, jaggery and dates. Paired with the iron tablet it improved by the next test. Simple stuff, no fancy diet needed.
Beta low blood is common, we used to give beetroot, dates and green leafy sabzi. These help along with the doctors iron. But keep taking the prescribed tablets, food alone is not enough.
Yes, my gynac told me low hb is very common in pregnancy because blood volume increases. Thats why they prescribe iron supplements and check hb regularly. Mine dipped a bit and we managed it with iron and diet.
Mine was low too and the key was regular follow up so they could track it. Dont skip those routine blood tests, they catch it early. Just take the iron exactly as your doctor advises.
With my nausea I could barely eat, so my hb dropped quite a bit. Once the sickness eased I focused on iron rich food and took the tablet with juice. It picked up slowly, so dont lose heart if it takes time.
