My hb came low in last report and gynac said its on the lower side. I do feel weak and chakkar type sometimes. Apart from the tablets, what foods actually helped you raise iron? Pls share what worked for u.
Actually, iron deficiency is super common in pregnancy yaar. You can eat beetroot, spinach, and pomegranate, but honestly, only diet won't fix it if it's very low. Make sure you take the iron tablets your doc has prescribed.
My doctor at the hospital put me on specific iron supplements and the hospital nutritionist gave me a chart with iron-rich foods. If your levels are low, please ask your doctor's staff for a proper diet and supplement plan.
Oh, low iron can make you feel so dizzy and weak, it's so stressful! Please make sure you are taking the exact tablets your doctor prescribed, and maybe add some dates and pomegranate to your diet. Keep checking your blood counts regularly to be safe!
Don't worry, iron levels can be easily managed! Eat plenty of apple, spinach, and methi, and never skip the iron supplements your gynac gave you. You'll feel much more energetic soon! 😀
I am planning my pregnancy now and also trying to build my iron levels. I've been told to eat lots of green leafy veggies, dates, and combine iron foods with vitamin C (like lemon juice) for better absorption. What did your doctor suggest?
Time to make spinach and beetroot your new best friends, even if they taste like grass haha! Seriously, take those iron tablets your doctor prescribed regularly, and you'll be running around in no time.
