My hb came a bit low in the report and doc said increase iron. Now im wondering how much is actually needed per day during pregnancy. Anyone know the right amount?
Haan, iron toh bahut zaroori hai na pregnancy mein to avoid weakness. Usually doctors do some blood tests and then give the exact dose. Green veggies and apples bhi diet mein zaroor rakhna.
I completely understand how overwhelming it feels to track all these nutrient numbers and worry if baby is getting enough. Normally, doctors prescribe an iron tablet daily after the first trimester, which is more than enough. Just take a deep breath and trust your gynac's prescription.
The standard requirement is around 27 milligrams per day during pregnancy to support the increased blood volume. Your gynac will check your hemoglobin levels and prescribe the right supplement dosage, so don't self-medicate.
During pregnancy, you generally need around 27 mg of iron daily. Eating iron-rich foods like spinach, pomegranate, and beetroot helps, but please take the supplements your doctor prescribes.
