My latest report showed my hb is low and the doc looked a bit concerned. Im 22 weeks and feeling tired all the time honestly. Apart from what gynac suggested, what foods helped u raise it?
My amma made me eat lots of greens, dates and ragi, and it really helped my hb. Along with that I took the iron my doctor prescribed without skipping. Home food plus the tablet together worked well for me.
Iron rich foods helped me, like green leafy veg, dates, jaggery and beetroot, along with the iron tablets my doctor gave. Take vitamin C foods like lemon with them so iron absorbs better. But take the supplement only as prescribed, dont self dose.
My gynac said diet alone often isnt enough in pregnancy so she added iron supplements and rechecked my hb after a few weeks. She told me to avoid tea or coffee right after meals as it blocks iron. Follow your own doctor's plan for the dose.
