My hb came a bit low in my last report and gynac mentioned i need to work on it. Im 6 months now and feeling tired more than usual. What foods or things helped u increase it?
You dont need expensive things actually. Beetroot, spinach, jaggery, dates and the free iron tablets from the clinic worked for me. The CBC test is cheap too, get it done to track properly.
My hemoglobin kept dipping so the gynac monitored it every month. Along with diet she adjusted my iron dose. Please keep getting your CBC done regularly, dont go only by food.
At home we made ragi and dates regularly, my mother insisted. It did help my levels along with the tablets. But always let the doctor decide the supplement, food alone may not be enough.
Iron rich food helped me a lot, like palak, beetroot, dates and jaggery. Take your iron tablets the doctor gives, dont skip them. With vitamin C like lemon or amla the iron absorbs better na.
