I had my blood test results and my hemoglobin count seems a bit lower than usual. Does hemoglobin naturally decrease during pregnancy? My doctor said it's common, but I'm still curious.
Omg my hemoglobin reports just came and they are thoda low, I am so worried. Is this really normal? Anyone else in their second trimester facing this, please tell me what you did.
My mummy and MIL both told me that baby draws a lot of nutrients from us, so hb level drops naturally. They started giving me beetroot juice and dates daily, which honestly helped a lot along with the routine medicines.
Listen, dont stress too much about this. It's super common because your blood volume expands during this time. Just take your iron tablets regularly and enjoy this phase, u are doing great!
Honestly I completely panicked when my hb dropped to 10 in my fifth month, thought something was wrong. But my doctor explained it's totally normal during pregnancy. I just took my supplements and it was all fine, so relax!
Mild anemia is quite normal in pregnancy due to hemodilution, but it's always best to let your gynac evaluate the reports. They will prescribe the right dose of iron supplements based on your exact levels, so do consult them.
Yes dear, it is very common for hemoglobin to drop a bit because body is making more blood for the baby. Just eat good iron rich food and stay happy, things will be fine.
Actually it did happen with me too, and having PCOS made me extra worried about every small thing. I just followed my doctor's advice on supplements and diet, so better to get your levels checked and let your gynac guide u.
