My blood test came and hb is a bit on lower side, doc said to start iron. Im 5 months along. Just want to know what count is considered normal during pregnancy, thoda confused with the numbers.
Mera Hb 3rd trimester me 10 ho gaya tha and doc immediately gave me iron supplements. Try to keep it around 11-12 so you don't feel too weak during labor.
Chill dear, if it is around 11, you are totally fine! Just eat green veggies, pomegranate and take your iron pills regularly. Don't stress too much over minor decimals.
Usually 11 g/dL or above is considered normal. Avoid high-sugar iron syrups if diabetic, try beetroot and spinach in salad instead, but make sure to ask doctor for safe iron tablets.
With twins, my Hb kept dropping like crazy! Normal is above 11 but mine was touching 9.5. Doctor put me on iron drip to manage, so strictly follow your doc's prescription.
