My last report showed hb on the lower side and my gynac said I need to bring it up. Apart from the tablets she gave, what all foods actually helped you increase it? Im 22 weeks and thoda worried about staying low till delivery.
Make sure you eat a handful of soaked black raisins every morning. Avoid taking tea or coffee immediately after your meals as it stops iron absorption. These simple traditional habits will keep your blood levels healthy.
I'm trying to prepare my body for pregnancy and my hb is also a bit low right now. What are you ladies eating to bring it up? I want to get it to a healthy level before I conceive.
My hb dropped a lot in my second trimester, but my doctor prescribed some iron tablets which worked wonders. Don't worry, just eat green leafy veggies and take your supplements regularly, it will come back up soon.
I made beetroot and carrot tikkis at home to make iron-rich food taste delicious! You can also have apples, spinach, and black raisins. Making healthy food tasty is the only way I survive these cravings!
Ghar pe dadi says to cook food in an iron kadhai, it really helps to increase the iron content naturally. Also eat fresh pomegranates and dates daily, beta. It will give you and the baby good strength.
My gynac explained that our blood volume increases during pregnancy, which naturally dilutes the hemoglobin. Along with a diet of spinach, jaggery, and dates, you must take your prescribed iron supplements with vitamin C (like lemon juice) for better absorption.
I lived on beetroot juice and pomegranate even though I absolutely hated the taste, just to keep my hb up! Trust me, swallow it down quickly because you need all the energy you can get once the baby actually arrives and keeps you awake all night.
