My report came and hb is showing 9.8, gynac said its a bit low but i forgot to ask whats the actual normal range we should aim for. Now im worried since people keep talking about anemia in pregnancy. What was ur hb and did the doc say its fine?
My hb went quite low and I felt dizzy and breathless, ended up needing extra treatment. Please dont ignore low hemoglobin, get it checked regularly and follow what ur doctor says about iron.
The hb test (CBC) is cheap so get it done every trimester at least. Keeping it above 11 saved me from problems at delivery. Iron tablets are also low cost, dont skip them yaar.
My gynac said normally they want it above 11 during pregnancy, and below that they consider it anemia. Mine dipped to 9 once and she put me on iron with proper follow up. Keep getting ur CBC done as advised.
Doctor told me to keep it around 11 or more. I ate jaggery, dates, palak and took the iron tablets they gave. Slowly it came up beta, dont worry too much just eat well and take ur medicines.
